    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[ <p>From Jim Hightower's blog, I learn that <a href="http://jimhightower.com/node/6580">the highly-compensated officers of corporate America's fiefdoms have discovered a way to ease the pain of having to pay taxes on their company-furnished jet plane rides, country club memberships, and the like. They're passing the buck to the shareholders</a>.</p>
<p>You got shareholders? Too bad for you 'cause now you gotta buy your own plane tickets, pay the government fees and the fuel surcharges yourself -- and, oh, yeah: if your job reimburses you, uh, there's nobody to double-dip for tax relief from. So you only get to not-quite-break even, instead of piling on additional monetary benefits.</p>
