how many calls to they take? and for how long?
how many meetings do they attend?
how many decisions do they make? and on what?
I'd like to see "billable" hours on that, divided into what they're paid, and I think ANYONE would be shocked... shocked that we have allowed this massive overpayment of certain individuals to go on for this long.
Hard work? Skill? Do not make me laugh. The exercise above would prove that pretty quick. And btw the rich are not "job creators". That is evident by now.
The middles class are the real entrepreneurs. That is, when they have a few dollars to spare beyond their needs.
Taxing the mega-rich should be our #1 priority right now, even above jobs. Until that is done, the power gap will get worse and worse, and so will the economy.
That's what I would say to a RWer if I knew any. I make it clear what I think of them, and their willingness to hand the keys of power to idiots, so I don't have any left in my circle who want to admit that they are. They empower people who are my enemies and do harm to me, therefore those who vote for them or speak up for them are my enemies too. The enablers of crime are just as guilty of the crime.
TAX THE SUPER-RICH UNTIL WE DRAG THEIR ASSES OFF OF OLYMPUS. It's not only necessary to eliminate the deficit, it's necessary as PUBLIC POLICY not to allow absurd compensation. I don't mean just high compensation, I mean absolute beyond all imagination unjustifiable nonsense. It's theft, call it what it is. They are stealing from their corporations which in turn underpay other low-tier workers and/or shareholders, and usually overcharge the public for their products and services as well. Not to mention meddling in our government itself.
Punish them? At the very least most of them should be in prison.
And I really hate when I hear the phrase "ask" the rich to pay more. No, REQUIRE them to. What is this - a pretty please, mother may I, please sir can I have some more game?
We don't need their agreement. We (the people) tell them, we don't ask them.
