Don't like it? Take your punk [donkey] back to college, and get yourself a Masters degree in business. Then maybe you can join the "haves."

...that is...if you CAN get your degree. Perhaps there's a REASON CEO's are who they are. They're just flat-out BETTER than the average worker.
I had already had 2 degrees, that did not do me too good. when are you going to get yours?

Why don't we just pay everyone exactly the same and let the government run everything.

If the OP is unsure on who to vote for this fall I think he might want to write in a few names. Here are my suggestion: Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx or Fidel Castro.

He is where is he and get paid what he does because he earned his station. I can't believe we have 12 pages worth of responses for nothing for than a wealth envy thread.

Jealousy and Envy are not my natural. The purpose of this thread is bring the awareness of social economic injustice. If the company you are working for has decided to lay off 8900 workers [including you] today and keep the CEO. What would you think? If you still don't get it, please reread some of my posts in this thread. You know some people many not registered in their mind if they only read things once.

You may have trouble to find a job once you finish your degree since most decent entry jobs are outsourcing to foreign countries now. Again Thanks to EDS CEO and his followers.

If you were so pleased with what you had you won't be looking over other peoples shoulders to worry about how many zero's are at the end of their paycheck. The only injustice here is that underqualified, underskilled people believe that should get an equal chunk of the pie regardless of all other factors involved.

The key thing you choose to not consider is this isn't 'YOUR' job. It's the companies job and they decided to let you work in it for a while. Furthermore since it is their job and not your job they can do with it whatever they want. How would I feel? I'd feel like it was time too seek out another job, instead of whining about someone taking something away that never belonged to me to begin with.

When you are educated enough and have established yourself well enough somewhere maybe you could be a CEO and rake in the dough too. But untill that time drop the social injustice nonsense, because those words don't even acurately describe the situation. People who work harder, get more education and make a greater commitment to their job, get promoted.

[sarcasm]Maybe we should just take everyones money, put it in a pot and then divide it up evenly so that every body makes the same and then there won't be any more 'social economic injustices'[/sarcasm]

Jobs are outsourced because US companies don't feel that being taxed for productivity is a good way to levy taxes. So they pack up and move somewhere they can operate their business freely and make a profit without people breathing down their necks to get their hands on it.

You think its the tax rate and not the wage rate? How cute.

Your "suggestion" might explain why some companies put their headquarters overseas, but it doesn't explain outsourceing. That is explained by the wage differential.
