MD Pay
Have you ever been curious as to what your doctor makes? Me too.
According to Physician Salaries...
"The mean annual salary of a MD specialist is $175,011 in the US, and $272,000 for surgeons. However, because of commodity inflation, increasing negligent costs, steep price rise of rental, the annual salary range of a MD varies and is not rising as fast as other professional pay."*
Oh, blimey, Doctors aren't stealing from us as much as the bankers and insurance theives? Hey, that's a damn good thing.

Now really, a doctor has accumulated a great deal of college debt after 11 or so years of medical school. I want him or her feeling safe and secure in his job as well as within his community. I want him/her to be a society leader. But over a quarter million dollars per year when he is fresh out of medical school, still green and wet behind the ears?
As indicated, I think doctors should be paid well. But I do not think that bankers, insurance executives nor corporate CEO/COO/CIO/etc. should get a dime more than a first year doctor.
The difference is simple, doctors have earned the right to be compensated well so that they can pay off ridiculous student loan debt as well as contribute to society as trusted pillars of the community. Bankers and corporate executives have not. They are simply motivated by greed.
According to Student Doc, the average family practice physician pays $204,000 per year. With changes in local this figure flucuates from $128,000 to $299,000 in the US.*
According to indeed, the average bankers salary in the US is $103,000 per year, with less than half of the schooling required.*
Yet, the CEO average shown above factors in the Cheif Executive Officers of small businesses such as Over-The-Road truck team leaders (at $33,000/yr), Armed Security Agencies ($24,000/yr) and Unarmed Security Officers ($18,000/yr). In truth, a real bonafide CEO makes from $108,000 a year for smaller companies, to $205,000 per year in larger corporations (on average). The COO makes an average of $163,000 per year in the U.S.*
And we all know that some corporations have executive salaries that are spiraling out of control, beacuse I am only speaking of averages and the averages for bankers and executives look particularly high when we factor in the schooling required and implemented as well as the public trust required for each kind of position.
In fact, corrupt bankers and executives worldwide have not even started to regain any public trust after creating the largest corporate glut in history that brought the world's financial health to its knees.
