“You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:5
You do not have to believe in God to appreciate what Jesus of Nazareth said: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone”.
We should think before we judge others.
Someone emailed me the following, figures detailing the pay packet for American Presidents. All figures are in US dollars. Traditionally, the president is the highest-paid public employee. President Bush currently earns $400,000 per year, along with a $50,000 expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment. A mediocre amount, in my opinion, when comparing to CEOs with similar responsibility. What do you think? Comment bellow. (Be nice!)
