What can we do to narrow the income disparity gap?

Question

I have an MBA and yet my CEO makes more than 141 times my annual compensation.

The question isn't about my gap, but about how the gap in our country as well as many others can by narrowed.

Answer 1

Liberal answer: Bring the richer people down to the poorer levels by taxation and penalties.

Conservative Answer: Force the poorer people to get off their a55es and work harder, and get a good education, and someday make it to the rich person level.

Answer 2

Now a days a degree means hardly anything. Experience in the feild is more desired. The only thing you can do to narrow the gap is to inform and inspire children.

There are so many kids who think all they have to do is go to college, get their degree and they will be handed a job. Its not the case. You have to work the entry level jobs first. You have to be in the mail room and you have to be the gopher first. A degree will help you advance and in the long run you will get more money than someone without one but you gotta start at the bottom. If you have the attitude that you are better than that, you will get nowhere.

Answer 3

"We"? Nothing

You speak of this "income gap disparity" as if it were some sort of problem. It isn't. People who are successful have a right to what they earn.

If you personally want to narrow the gap, then you must work harder or become more dedicated so that your earnings will increase.

Answer 4

Tax your boss at 55%. That should remove some of the gap.

Answer 5

It's the time of year, now that spring is in the air
When those two wet gits, with their girly curly hair
Make another song, for marronic holidays
that nausiate-ate-ates in a million different ways
From the shores of Spain, to the coast of southern France
No matter where you hide, you just can't escape this dance

Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deck-chair up your nose
Buy a Jumbo-Jet, and then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green, then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet, and pretend your name is Keith.

Skin yourself alive, learn to speak araphahoe
Climb inside a dog, and behead an Eskimo
Eat a Renault 4, wear salami in your ears
Cassarole your gran, dis-embowel yourself with spears

The disco is migrating, the sound is loud and grating
It's truly nausiating - let's do the dance again..

Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deck-chair up your nose
Buy a Jumbo-Jet, and then bury all your clothes
Yes you'll hear this song, in the holiday discos
And there's no escape, in the clubs or in the bars
You would hear this song, if you holidayed in Mars

Skin yourself alive, learn to speak araphahoe
Climb inside a dog, and behead an Eskimo
Now you've heard it once, your brain will spring a leak
And though you hate this song you'll be humming it for weeks

Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deck-chair up your nose
Buy a Jumbo-Jet, and then bury all your clothes
la la la la la la la....
