When CEO's can make more in comparison than the worker in any other point in the last 100 years and people are complaining that laborers raise in wages would inflate costs there is something pathetically wrong in the way people think.
I agree with Smooth put a maximum on what the CEO's and upper management can make and see how fast wages rise.
Our middle class is going fast, personal credit is getting outrageously dangerous and the upper managements make more and more and more while they continue to try to cut wages and benefits.
It's pathetic and not what this country is about. Even Henry Ford said "you pay a worker enough to afford your product and you will always have a customer. People don't buy imports because they are better made, or because they want to, people buy imports because they know they can maybe stretch that dollar more. However, the imported products are cheaper made and don't last as long as when the US had great workers, wages and pride in their jobs.
You cannot expect to have workers take pride in a job that barely pays them enough to live, while they see the CEO's and upper management making millions upon millions every year. The gap has gotten too large and the greed has destroyed us.
Just as the unions got too greedy, management has now. Somehow, someway we need to find a medium. Problem is the upper management and CEO's are far too greedy and would rather ship jobs overseas than to give up some of their salaries and the government is too weak to step in and try to solve the problem since ownership seems unwilling to.
