what, are you Socrates answering questions with questions? why are you ok with what this has become?
for the longest time, if one had a job, one could make it. not anymore. who had the power to change that? I'd wager it's the one's reaping the rewards from how things are now, with an ever tilted field. bought and paid for by the very rich, enacted by their puppets, and defended by...old dog.

By the way, i am a size six. Not big at all. Ask bob, he met me. Or steve, or brian spencer, or chuck.

Ok, old dog. Forget all that i wrote. You wont answer any of the questions anyway. So, one question very simple question.
Should what has occurred just be left alone and accepted?

It is what it is. What do you think should be done about it? Get the government involved to regulate salaries, stock options and other forms of compensation? It does no good to bitch about what other people are paid, but if you're going to do it what's your "solution?"

I don't worry about what others are paid (unless I'm being smarmy). I am concerned with my compensation, and act accordingly. All of this talk by Bernie and other socialists about higher taxes on the rich (making them pay "their fair share") is just the politics of envy, and I have no time for it.

You seem to operate under the assumption that it's a closed system, with a finite amount of money.

Understand that the rich will always get richer. Money begets money. But your problem is with CEOs who you believe are overpaid. So, let's get to the meat of it. Who do you believe should decide how much money an employee should be paid for his or her services?

Actually, a lot of money is now in a closed loop system, the financial world.
As for who decides the pay. I would imagine it is the same who always decided. The issue is why did the pay get skewed? How do we repair that? How did it get as it is, from where it was? I already said, above, how that is.
