[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1265523, member: 249"] Do you not see the logical fallacy of this line of thought or do you simply revel in it? I don't care who you are or how much you have there will always be somebody with less who can be filled with envy over what you have, or a better way to describe it is what you have earned. Envy and jealousy are very simple emotional responses to someone having more than someone else, and this pseudo social issue of income inequality is simply meant to magnify those basic emotional responses. Do you even know why executives of big companies get paid what they do? Its not because they simply wear an expensive suit to work, its because they are members of a handful of people in this country capable enough to run these multimillion(or billion) dollar corporations. They get paid what they get paid because the free market demands it. Ben and Jerry of Ben and Jerry's ice cream tried to find themselves a suitable CEO using this nonsensical idea of income inequality and failed miserably. They found if that they didn't pay the big bucks they wouldn't get a CEO who was quality enough to run their company. I do accept that people who make millions of dollars more than me do so because their experience, background, and knowledge commands it. I see nothing wrong with that. [/QUOTE]
