Unions have a bad side which I have never denied but along with the weakening of the unions comes the economy we are constantly whining about, again 2x2 never equals 4... Being responsible for ourselves doesn't seem to be working very well does it..
Where is the dang unlike button.

You know, you can take all the ceo's in the country and combine their income, and it will come up to less than 1% of the entire freakin GDP. You folks on the left don't get it. Talent costs money, and talent DEMAND costs money.

If a CEO takes a company from a 30 dollar stock to a 150 dollar stock, on HIS VISION and HIS leadership, you're **** straight he's worth every single penny the shareholders and the board choose to pay him.

Why do you suppose one particular athlete can generate a 30 million dollar contract and the other can generate a 3 million dollar contract? YOU know the answer. It doesn't matter if I think they are both over paid. The DEMAND is there for what they provide, therefore if you have to pay 30 million dollars to get his services, you pay 30 million dollars.

One day, maybe in my lifetime, you will understand, but I doubt it.
