Does this dude always have lame comebacks? I think I get this joke. This guy isn't really a current ERAC employee. He's spoofing all of us into thinking that there really is someone like this at ERAC. I must admit, there are a lot of idiots at ERAC, but nobody as bad as this guy. when a scared man is being owned, they generally point to their wallet as the scope of their accomplishments. when you are talking highest paid employees in the state of Il, you're talking about at ERAC, right? Well, that's not hard to accomplish. but, if you're actually talking about everyone else, then we have a problem here. Just in Cook County, there are about 167,000 millionaires residing there. oh, and the average salary in Illinois...around 50k. Even if you are making six figures, which you might be at the low end of that, you are still in the middle of the road in terms of income. where are you getting your facts from? short of asking this guy to kill himself, what does it take to get through to a kool-aid drinker you might ask? Well, we could challenge him on every topic with logic, but he'll come back with emotional rants that make a four year old cringe at the childishness. oh, just for good measure, my salary with bonuses is around $120,000. Plus, the trips to other countries, free everything, and a kick ass wife. Are you married? anyway, enough of the personal attacks, sorry. didn't want to sink down to your level, but it's hard sometime. just one more thing...I can talk to you because this is America and I can talk to whomever I want to...bitch.
