Mugabe's pay soars as Zimbabwe starves
The economically-crippled Zimbabwean government has nearly quadrupled President Robert Mugabe's salary to 73.7 million Zimbabwe dollars from Z$20.2 million, the state newspaper reported. His living expenses were doubled. His new salary is equivalent to the average yearly wage of nearly 230 people in a country where 70 per cent of the population live in poverty.
Bob's going to take everything that isn't nailed down. If it's nailed down he'll get a pry bar, loosen it up, and then take it.
