the 9 cents a dollar is what they make AFTER they are all paid, they deduct all their salleries from this. It is called second tier profit margins. So in effect, they could give themselves huge raises, so they can report less "profits" So essentially, they made 9 cents a dollar of pure unappropriated profit. The most sucessfull companies in history have made about .25 of a cent per dollar of unappropriated profit.
Still think 9 cents is a small amount?
