Greed leads to destruction, and we can all live without the gluttony of the few who can not seem to appreciate hard work and not a hand out.
Jeanne - you obviously have no idea what it takes to run a company, and you obviously are not a capitalist if you believe your comment. I started at the bottom and have worked my way into upper management - this is why I worked extra hard. If everyone gets paid the same, what is the incentive to work harder or be more productive then the next guy. Why bother? More responsibility, more risk and more pressure/stress comes with more pay. I had no idea what upper management was responsible for until I got there - don't judge the hardworking folks at the top by a select few who have damaged their companies. Capitalism is based on hard work and folks that want to create wealth for themselves and their families. Remember, its the higher incomes that contribute more to philanthropic causes and also pay more in taxes. Hard work and the desire for wealth is what got this country where it is - don't knock it. It drives people to want more then the "average Joe", resulting in the U.S. being one of the most productive economies in the world.
Be careful when you demand that all employees get paid the same. Not only is it not practicle it reeks of communism. And don't count on the unions. Have you ever seen the salaries and perks of the union leaders? What do you think they do with all the dues?
Jeanne, you are talking communism.
