[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 1061561, member: 31608"] I am inclined to agree and disagree. To elaborate, the compensation for those who control the commanding heights of the economy, is frankly incomprehensible when compared to that of the "average" worker - or even the privileged worker with union protection, such as many at UPS. I do agree, though, that a reduction of Mr. Davis' compensation would not result in any net effect - however, that is more a reflection of the culture that we breed in this country, than it is an economic "truth." If we, as a culture, were to reduce our acceptance of how much upper management is paid, then that would be a different story. It's not an individual thing - in that Mr. Davis is not to blame - rather, we all share fault for the fact that we allow these people to be paid outrageous amounts of money (that, per annum, could probably wipe out poverty in small areas) and they suffer no real consequences. Not only do they not suffer any real consequences, but the more money you make the better accountants and lawyers you can hire to hide your money so you pay less taxes. Honestly ... it's not the wages, or the people, it's the culture. [/QUOTE]
