What makes this $20 Million a year stuffed shirt make him think he's worth enough to support 500 families, when the guy/gals doing the work can't make ends meet on their pay check---even when living frugally. Is there some arrogance here? Are our values in the right place? Who is making the decisions to create such a disparity in compensation. Why? Do they have an ax to grind? Are they a constructive part of a system that perpetrates such unfairness? Is there greed here? What can the widget maker do about it ? What can you and I do about it? These same questions apply equally well to sports players and entertainers. Why do we vote with our pocket books(buy tickets) to support this unfairness. Where are our values that we give a guy $1 million a year to play baseball, but think our kids will get a good education paying his teachers $40,000 a year?
Do you get my drift? Can we change this lopsided, out of whack value system which has us by the tail? What can you and I do?

My husband is there. He's the $27 an hour guy with the $42,000,000 a year CEO. And the CEO is always trying to figure out a way to cut pay or benefits for the guys who do all the work. Go figure.

I have searched high & low for many, many years and still have not found where it has been determined that life is fair. Life is not fair, never has been and never will be. Accept that, and make the most of the hand that life has dealt you, rather than spending your time and energy complaining about the unfairness of life. It is not the responsibility of the government or our society in general to take on the impossible task of trying to make life fair. It cannot be done. Don't spend your life angry about it's unfairness. Just use the talents, abilities and intelligence you were given to make your own good fortune & "success" in life. And, keep in mind than money, wealth, etc. is not what life is all about.
