[QUOTE="DontThrowPackages, post: 1131738, member: 42215"] Just saw an episode of a show called "Vice" airs on HBO. They reported on the wide margin between the wealthy and the middle class or in India's case, the wealthy and the poor. They showed workers in a sweat shop working for 3 dollars a day and when the reporter asked," How can they afford a home or apartment?" the guide said with a sad face, " they live here in the shop". They sleep under their sewing machines, wake up and get back to work. This vast gap between the 1pct and the 99pct made me wonder about America. To some, pointing out the greed of men that run companies is thought to some as un-American. There needs to be a cap on how much any one CEO can earn before he should be hit with an insane amount of tax. We as Americans will one day be India where the CEO makes 10 million a year and the average worker makes 3 dollars a day. And you can say well, they should have gotten a better education. Well, there's so many college grads who don't have a job or who are underemployed. And what happens when a graduated degree isn't enough? Corporations can't expect the economy to ever balance out if they continue to believe making 300 times more than the average worker is fair. Remember too, this county is a gun loving one and these nutjobs own 10-20 guns. What happens when(IF) they ever realize the enemy isn't the government as much as its the companies that sent their jobs to China and don't care if there's no money to feed the kids. CEO's would need to employ not just a bodyguard but a small army for them and their families because the unemployed may one day realize there's a war on them and they have stockpiles of fruits because of the 2nd amendment.
