Someone else answered much better than I could have, and if I spell
his name I know I will spell it wrong but he lives in Brazil.(Tchau)

You bring out the humor in me.  You used to be an Amway distributor
and DIDN'T make any money, right?  You mentioned Lee, the Chrysler
guy, hey, a board agreed to his salary.  If I sell someone a lock of
Mohamads hair for $10,000, why would YOU worry about it?  Now if I
was selling poison milk that is a different thing.  If a baseball
player makes $5 million dollars a year, good for him, if someone
makes $5 million selling equipment to NASA, and it is phony equipment,
that too is different.

If one person won $50 million in a lottery, he is filthy rich and the
government should, you should, someone better than the winner, should
take his money away from him just because.. why because?


>You CAN strengthen the wage earner by making sure the wage payer is not
>paying himself 3 or 4 million dollars while his company is laying off
>people being paid $20,000 a year....

The wage earner making $20,000 only knows to how to screw one or two
bolts to an automobile frame.  That's good money for a job like that.
If there are no frames to screw bolts too, the job is gone.
The manager must look after 100 other employees and the needs of the
company, and the manager makes $75,000 for that.   I don't see a
problem here.  A programmer makes $100,000 a year, you could make the
same if you knew how to program.  A company makes $5 billion and one
person says, hey, I wrote the program that made the company $5 billion
and I should get 25%, and the company agrees and pays.. Whats the
problem, you COULD HAVE done the same thing but you didn't.  The stock
holders of that corporation should vote the board out but that is a
voteing issue

>You can strengthen the poor by making the rich less rich and spreading
>that money around......

How about strengthening the poor buy haveing more $20,000 bolt screwing
jobs than there are people to fill those jobs.  Would we still have
poor people?  I say yes, because the bolt screwing job is on the east
coast and the poor person is on the west coast.

>only!!!!

The people have their government, you just can't see it, you're just so
upset your Amway dealership went bust you have to blame someone.  Maybe
if you checked out a policial party, I would suggest the Democrats,
it is just a wild guess on my part.  Get some first hand knowledge.
