Yes, that's true and of course it's grossly unfair. But say a CEO for a company with 10,000 employees is making $100 Million a year. Then his pay is cut to $50 Million. Does that mean the 10,000 employees will get a raise averaging $5,000 a year? Hell no! They might get a pittance and the extra $50 Million will just be rolled into profits.

I just don't see income inequality as an issue. There have always been rich people, middle class people and poor people. Taking money from the rich without a corresponding redistribution to the middle class and poor is just saying, "Hey, we don't like you making so much more than us! We can't make any more so we'll bring you down."

 

Here is the thing. The shareholders that matter are the ones that agree to pay the CEO's this much.

I know the common stock holder is a shareholder, but not in the way that really matters.

Its the guys at the top that are considered.

 

Here is the thing. The poor and the middle class far out weigh the rich. The rich would be stupid to push this trend further IMO or they will wind up with a voted system of just "taking" their money.

 

Here is the problem. The rich use poor whites as surrogates, and manipulate the poor to battle on such issues as race, religion, and abortion. That way, keeping these surrogates from focusing on economic issues, which should be the great unifying issue, they are able to stay in power, though their numbers are small.

It is beyond sinister, evil, you name it.

 

I get the fact that there have always been a few people with way more money than the rest of us. In today's dollars the robber barons were even farther ahead of everybody than today's billionaires are. If we tax the superrich at 95% the money won't go in my pocket or yours. Income inequality sounds like a political buzzword to make the masses think they will somehow benefit by tearing down the rich instead of doing something to better themselves.

 

Red just loathes rich people

 

And stuck my tongue out at you while I did it

 

So now we hear the truth. You don't care about higer pay for the working people. You're just mad because your dividend checks aren't bigger.
