Robert Rubin is on that list. Quote:
CLAIM TO FAME: As Clinton's treasury secretary, he pushed to overturn regulations prohibiting finance-bank hybrids such as...Citigroup. QUOTE: Wishes he could have reined in Citi but "I don't know what I could have done" as just a board member.
HIS HAUL, 1999-2009: $124 million
When I was in high school, I read Liar's Poker. I came to despise Rubin based on that book. Everything which I have heard of him thereafter has confirmed my opinion.
While he was at Solomon Brothers during the 1980s, Rubin's demands for compensation shocked even the greediest traders. Rubin then joined the Clinton administration, the same administration whose electoral campaign decried "the decade of greed." Then he played a part in the current crash, getting yet another obscene pile of money for himself courtesy of the American taxpayer (or the Treasury Department printing press, take your pick).
We are ruled by fools and phonies.
