Polls Indicate That 60% of Americans Want Govt. to Fight Income Disparity - Polidicks

[QUOTE=dialogical;33241810]I think you mean they want money. Someone else's preferably.[/QUOTE] No, actually, there's this thing called 'taxation', and with it the government receives revenue for all kinds of potential services. Now, if we went ahead with say, nationalized healthcare, or public universities on par with existing public schools, then I'd say that sounds pretty good, wouldn't you? If you believe these people want to take money from other people and just pocket it for themselves you're even more of a loon than I thought.

Kind of confused. Is this 60% of Americans who want the government to get rid of the fatcats who abuse loopholes and shit to get loads of money, or people who made it to the upper class legitimately? Hoping it's the former.

[QUOTE=SilentOpp;33233888]No, if I work hard, show management ability, and contribute, I do have the oppertunity to become CEO of a major corporation. If not CEO, I can become another major player at the very least. Stop being such a downer. Everyone has opertunity. But it's cool if you don't want to pursue it, leaves more room for me.[/QUOTE] No, not everyone has the opportunity to become a CEO. It has to do with a lot more than "working hard". How did you get there?

I'm sorry but if you don't like that your CEO gets millions while you get 8/h, then you're free to leave. If you're an important person, you will get a raise, if you're not, either deal with it or make yourself worth. If everyone left, the salary would increase as companies would need new workers, but as long as there are cheap ones, why hire expensive ones if they all do the same? Also working hard will most of the time not land you a CEO. You might get a raise but that's about it. To become a CEO you really need to be different from the rest of the crowd and the current ceo needs to be good friends with you. If you work hard but someone else works less hard but is friends with ceo, chances are he will get higher than you.
