Estimated Annual Retirement Benefit: $8,187,200* *Calculated by The Corporate Library for the AFL-CIO Executive PayWatch Exxon Mobil CEO Lee R. Raymond’s retirement in January 2006 coincided with record profits for Exxon Mobil. On retirement, Raymond was entitled to receive an estimated annual retirement benefit of over $8 million.[1] He choose instead to take a lump sum payment of $98 million.[2] Raymond will also get an administrative assistant, company-provided life insurance, a car, driver, and airplane use for two years.[3] Like many CEOs, Raymond’s pension is calculated based on his highest average salary and bonus over a three-year period. Between 2002 and 2005, Raymond’s annual bonus more than doubled from $2.1 million to $4.9 million.[4] According to Exxon Mobil, long-term returns on capital, growth in earnings per share and operating results are key considerations in determining the CEO’s salary and bonus.[5] Also: Michael Moore owns Halliburton! New book debunks claims of celebrity activists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: November 1, 2005 10:23 p.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Michael Moore "I don't own a single share of stock!" filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed. He's right. He doesn't own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in "Fahrenheit 9/11." If you want to see Moore's own signed Schedule D declaring his capital gains and losses where his stock ownership is listed, it's emblazoned on the cover of Peter Schweizer's new book, "Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy." And it's just one of the startling revelations by Schweizer, famous for his previous works, "Reagan's War" and "The Bushes." Other examples: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who proclaims her support for unions, yet the luxury resort, the vineyard and the restaurants she partly owns are strictly non-union. While she advocates tough new laws enforcing environmental regulations on the private sector, the exclusive country club she partly owns failed to comply with existing environmental regulations for the past eight years – including a failure to protect endangered species. Noam Chomsky has made a reputation for calling America a police state and branding the Pentagon "the most hideous institution on earth," yet his entire academic career, writes Schweizer, has been subsidized by the U.S. military. Barbra Streisand is another proponent of environmentalism, yet she drives an SUV, lives in a mansion and has a $22,000 annual water bill. In the past, she has driven to appointments in Beverly Hills in a motor home because of her aversion to using public bathrooms. Ralph Nader plays the role of the citizen avenger – the populist uninterested in wealth and materialism, pretending to live in a modest apartment. In fact, he lives in fancy homes registered in the names of his siblings. This is not just a book of "gotcha" journalism, explains Schweizer. He says the dozens and dozens of examples of "liberal hypocrisy" he cites in his book "are of central importance in evaluating the validity and usefulness of liberal ideas." "Using IRS records, court depositions, news reports, financial disclosures and their own statements, I sought to answer a particular question: Do these liberal leaders and activists practice what they preach?" he writes. "What I found was a stunning record of open and shameless hypocrisy. Those who champion the cause of organized labor had developed various methods to avoid paying union wages or shunned unions altogether. "Those who believe that the rich need to pay more in taxes proved especially adept at avoiding taxes themselves. Critics of capitalism and corporate enterprise frequently invested in the very companies they denounced. Those who espouse strict environmental regulations worked vigorously to sidestep them when it came to their own businesses and properties. Those who advocate steep inheritance taxes to promote fairer income distribution hid their investments in trusts or exotic overseas locales to reduce their own tax liability. Those who are strong proponents of affirmative action rarely practiced it themselves, and some had abysmal records when it came to hiring minorities. Those who proclaim themselves champions of civil liberties when it comes to criminal or terrorist cases went to extraordinary lengths to curtail the civil liberties of others when they felt threatened or just inconvenienced. Advocates of gun control had no problem making sure that an arsenal of weapons was available to protect them from dangerous criminals." > How can the dems cut more from the war funding than >bush has already cut, it's not like the war was ever >funded! > > All rich should pay for the war, including exxon >business crook lee raymond who stole a billion dollars >from the american people last year, about a hundred >times what micheal moore made off his movie, and >micheal moore agrees with me.
