Duh. Thanks for that lesson. But I've never questioned that. What I DID say was that The Donald made nearly $1.3m in 2012 (I was off by $22k). That's his TOTAL COMPENSATION. I never claimed it was his salary. You brought that up to muddy the water. And you failed.
Please Alan. Take a seat. Your going to pass out from spinning so much.

More B.S. Alan. If your employer pays for your car, your home, your utilities, your travel, your meals, etc...guess what? You have a HELL of a LOT of spendable income. The line pilot gets no such deal. Try again.
