I find it disgusting that the wall street types and corporate big shots make so much money at the EXPENSE of their loyal and dedicated workers that can't do better because of the "market" artificially created by corporate greed. AND WALL STREET GROWS TO RECORD NUMBERS while the workers are doing less than they did in the 1960's. How sad and disgusting the greed is in this country now.
I used to complain about the salary of the CEO where my husband worked. He always replied, "good for him, perhaps I will make that much one day". His attitude was hard work pays off. Guess what? He never made as much as the CEO but he always moved forward and ended his career with a good salary. GREED? I feel those complaining about greed are really envious. It takes many hours and much hard work to get to that level. Not everyone wants to do the hard work, make the sacrifices and put in the hours it takes. I say, sour grapes.
