Roach I am in awe. Very profound and well written response that truly says everything needed to be said.

This just occurred to me also..... speaking on drive and pay in another wage type thread (where this question is alo posted).......

If the CEO decides to cut jobs in the US and move production (to say) Indonesia, knowing that they cannot make widgets as good as the workers here but those workers will do so for far less thus drivng up the profit (even if sales go down)..... is that truly a CEO with drive or is that a CEO just abusing the system and showing no ingenuity or drive to truly better profit through new ideas and better product????????

So yes he drove up profits but destroyed the social fabric of a whole community.... does this man deserve millions in bonuses and pay?

He truly didn't strive to better anything..... except his own finances.

So why did he deserve to make 100's of x's more than the employees who lost their jobs because they worked their asses of 40 hours a week trying to make a living?

In truth was not this country founded on paying decent wages to labor to get loyalty and the best work possible for products built to last longer than a few years, maybe even before they are paid off?

I'm sorry but when both my grandfathers were union in the 60's and 70's the products they made were made with pride, respect, built to last and done so because they made decent livings and didn't worry about living paycheck to paycheck.

Today, you pay someone barely enough to live and put more stress on them, not only are they not healthy physically but mentally they are close to breaking.

Everything in this world needs balance and right now the gaps in classes and wages are far far out of balance.
