“I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”

That is an amazing statement to have been made by someone who works at a job that pays $400,000 a year and somehow he and his wife made $5.5 million in the first year of his presidency.

These facts are noted in an editorial piece posted at Investors.com yesterday. 

The article wisely concludes:

“If the president is eager to regulate salaries, he might begin — and end — with the federal work force. Commerce Department data show that average federal worker compensation of $119,982 in 2008 was twice that of average private-sector pay ($59,909).

“If he can’t bring himself to spread federal workers’ wealth around, he and the rest of Washington need to stay away from everyone else’s income.”

When did we elect a President to tell us how much any of us should earn?  What does the President see as his ‘enough’ amount?
