Don't you understand that your value to an employer and to yourself concerning your work is your wage?

In a way, you’re quite wrong.

Hostess, for example, spent years in very bad business practices. They cut the workforce, but continued to pile on executive pay. They just asked workers to reduce their salaries by 30% WHILE DOUBLING the CEO’s pay.

Now, WHY would a CEO who is running a FAILING COMPANY get to double his salary?? There isn’t a damn thing those workers did to be “worth less,” and there isn’t a damn thing that CEO DID to be worth TWICE what he was last year.

FACT IS...the working class will always have to fight for rights, fair pay, etc. and they often need to do it as a group because that’s the only power they have.

FINALLY...I have a friend who inherited a business from his father. The guy is worthless, yet he’s CEO, making outstanding money while letting everyone else run the thing. He’s NOT making what he’s “worth.” He did nothing and continues to do nothing to make that money. And he’ll sell that business for $8 million or so...because he was born...not because he’s “worth” it.
