Reducing my salary 68% would put me and my wife in the food bank line LH.

Your defensive statement just don't cut it. Ortega is just another politician in the world arena. I can't see any substantial humanitarian value in his 'little' salary reduction. Look at the figures I presented. They explain just where he stands in the economic scale of his impoverished country. They also reveal on were he (the socialist saviour) stands next to the leader of the most capitalistic countries in the world. In some ways it reveals somewhat how humble Bush ranks to Ortega in the salary game.

Hell ... If I were Bush I demand a hefty salary increase.
