If you do find 1, tell me this, does that CEO make 100x's the average employee of his company?
If you truly want strong product and a workforce that takes pride in what they do, you need to pay them fairly. Why do you think things don't last like they used to, even though technology is better?

How about Oprah Winfrey as an example.
I recently read a bio on Jack Welch former CEO of GE, he came from a working class family.
How about the gentleman Will smith is playing in his latest movie ( I have not seen it), I understand he was homeless and is now the CEO of his company.
Those come to mind as I type, I am sure if I took the time and actually gave it some thought, there would be many, many more examples. Agood book to read is "The Millionaire Next Door". Most millioaires in this country started middle-class or poor and earned their wealth through conservative values, of working hard, saving, and living within their means.
