    I had this card for a while, but I switched to a bank that paus 5.51% interest on a no fee checking account. The return is a lot better than any point card.

    You are very misinformed.

    I fully intend to be a rich CEO. And when I am, my tune won't change.

    The current system is bad for our country.

    Just out of curiosity, do you intend on turning down some of the compensation offered to you as CEO or do you plan on taking everything given to you?

    I would turn down a golden parachute. I don't think I'll necessarily be one of the top 25% public-company CEO earners in the country, but I would decline that level of pay & have the company put it towards charity or other worthy causes instead. And although it is tough to quantify, I wouldn't accept any pay that wasn't in-line with the performance that I could give to that company.

    I don't want to be a CEO to be rich. I want to make a difference, and would like to be rich whilst doing it.

    When you get to that level, we will still remember your avatar.

    And still probably bug you about recruiting. :grin:

    Well, I'm going to be an astronaut when I grow up. Or a singing cowboy . . . or maybe a fireman. :grin:

    Not to be a contrarian, but why would a company hire you to be it's ceo if you can't make the proper decision for your own fiduciary benefit. What I'm saying is, if I was on a board, and someone who I was interviewing to be a ceo said, "no, I don't want to make too much money, it's not fair," I would have a hard time hiring you because you may bring that attitude to the company.

    You can definitely get rich being a ceo but there are definitely easier ways to make a difference.
