Here, to me, is the root of the problem: GREED! I just can’t fathom how ANYBODY could be worth a $14 million bonus. I’m going to catch a lot of flack for this, but I’ll say it anyway: We, as a country need a maximum wage. Not to bring the Richy Riches of the good ol’ US down so much as to bring the others that got a degree, work hard and contribute to a company up. (Isn’t the same thing happening right now with the executives of the banks and such (that accepted bailout money) having their incomes brought down to no more than the President makes?)
Just think: The rule could be that within each company, the CEO (or highest paid) is not allowed to make more than 10 times the amount of the lowest-paid (bonuses included). So, if that dude is cashing in for 1 million a year, then his secretary gets no less than $100,000.
The moral of the story: The CEO is still raking in the cash and now so is his secretary. It means that everybody wins!
Call me a marxist/commie/socialist or whatever you would like.
Hang on while I call the fire department-cause I’m sure to be flamed for this one!
By the way, I’m a staunch conservative who has voted Republican in every election that I could since being old enough to vote.
Flame away!!!
