If we take a step back and think about it, who would you want to take control and build the US industrial and business base back up? Someone who has built highly successful and profitable businesses or a political guy? The fact that Tillerson has a golden parachute, while I don't like the excess at the expense of the workers, that was a BUSINESSES decision on what THEY (Exxon) felt THEY needed to do for THEIR business.
I want the best minds in the business to fix our economy and bring jobs back to the US. You can't argue with the success that Trump has had, or those he's bringing on board. You may not LIKE it because Tillerson got a golden parachute of enormous proportions, but hey, if he's able to command that level of compensation, fine. I don't expect him to turn against business, but I expect him (and others) to improve the trade relationships such that these businesses thrive. I want every business in the US to make as much profit as legally possible. I want every CEO to be a greedy bastard and strive to improve his or her's company value and profit at every opportunity. That means growth, and that means more jobs for my fellow citizens.
In terms of Trumps son-in-law.. who cares. He can seek advice from anyone he wants. And I like the idea that he is bringing in people who have diametrically opposite points of view than his. It helps make sure he sees all sides and makes an informed decision.
