while i agree with this on the most part. theres a loop hole.
Take the oil companys for example. they make BILLIONS of dollars each day... do they need that much? HELL NO. does the CEO of said company need to be making 300 bucks an hour? get real.
if the oil company only made 500 million a day. and that same CEO only took home 150 bucks an hour. he is still living the high life making twice as much money in a WEEK than the average person makes in a MONTH. are the oil companys going to survive on 500 million a day paying all their wages? god yes they are.
do you know how far 500 million a day would go to the poor people in this country. a LOONG ways in boosting the economy.
