Letter: Exxon chair no more gluttonous than Gates

Wed, May 10, 2006 (7:28 a.m.)

Let's see. In the first quarter, Exxon's profits are up 14 percent with a net margin of just under 10 percent. Microsoft profits are up 16 percent in the same quarter with a net margin of just over 27 percent! As I recall, the chief executive of Microsoft is the richest man in the world. I must have missed the outrage.
