He also made a lot of small investors better off in their 401Ks, ditto for Steve Jobs.
Sounds like many of you are takers, not makers.

If he had raised the bottom line by firing you you might think differently. You have a job now, but if the axe came at your neck and some guy got a bonus for firing you, would you still think he was a genius?
The executive's job is not to create wealth, it is to increase the bottom line, as you said. If CEOs busied themselves growing their business and creating wealth instead of focusing on the bottom line they wouldn't need to cut staff and throw people out of work, they would be growing the company and increasing employment.
