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.

Steve should just rename this forum to "It is what it is" and shut the ****ing thing down for entry.. Save us from killing each other over stuff that simply "is what it is" and all our opining can't change.

Her response is going to be an unrelated, generalized tangent/tantrum from your specific point that is going to include a perceived attack against her (victim).

She can't logically answer your question, so she's going to go on about how no one knows her or what she thinks and that it is despicable / amazing that we only have Trump and Clintion to choose from, and yada yada yada ...snooze

Seen this movie before

my solution is to roll back whatever legislation was passed that produced this back about 30-40 years ago. trickle down was a joke. it was changed, it can be changed again.
and yes, regulation is called for at times. like with the triangle shirtwaist factory, like with child labor laws, etc. unbridled capitalism is not a good thing. that's what led to us having leaded paint while other countries all banned it in the 20's, it's corporate greed that kept lead in gas, and scientists lying about it. and yes, it is a concern. if you don't care, that's fine. others do. it's not your place to tell someone else what all to care about.
and no, it's not politics of 'envy'. and I still don't get why astronomical pay for the rich gets defended, and anyone else wanting a living wage is envious. and then people wonder at the economy. it's all part and parcel of that.
