In a year? And some people think teachers are overpaid? A teacher would have to work something like 400 years to make as much as that loser made in a year.

You have a better chance landing one of those jobs than you do finding a 2.5% CD.

I believe said employees are entitled to just compensation but come on! 1 million plus a month is just for the employee at the top yet the slob on the factory floor is overpaid at $30.00 per hour? You see a lot of threads on here about the State pension issues, tax the corporate boys at a rate near what they paid in the fiftys and you might could clean that mess up. Now before someone gets their panties in a wad I do know that will be not be happening soon. About the only possible way it could happen is if you tax at the national level and some how get it back to the states. Otherwise they will hop from state to state making suckers of the citizens. Yes I know it will not happen. If you did not start a company and build it up you are an employee.
