Takes a lot of smart to make that much money, it gets easier to make more money once you've got some to work with
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;28517991]who most companies, when public, are forced out of the legal requirment to be a for profit business to pay people as little as they can get away with.
And don't start some argument about a flat tax or a regressive tax or anything like that.[/QUOTE]
This, exactly.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;28522675]it's not like if the richest person in a company goes nobody gets paid anymore. They get paid out of the corporate fund and he takes the profit off that each year.[/QUOTE]
Yes. Aren't these personal fortunes?
[QUOTE=64k1;28514365]Bill Gates already is sharing his cash.[/QUOTE]
Not my way.
And depression strikes again, :science:
[QUOTE=sp00ks;28524402]Yes. Aren't these personal fortunes?[/QUOTE]

$28 billion? That's enough to put the entire U.S. on vacation for a few months.

[QUOTE=Bryanrocks0;28514264]If only they shared some of their wealth then the world might be less poor.[/QUOTE]
