USA Today last week showed the wages of the top ceo's. They went up on average 33% in one year while the workers at the same companies went up on average 2.5%

Corporate executive greed is a monumental scandal that is not just ignored, not just minimized, but enthusiastically cheered on by many on this forum.

For them Christ's admonition about the rich man and the eye of the needle has been replaced by "He who dies with the most toys, wins".

Irony of ironies, we single mindedly combated atheistic, materialistic communism for half a century only to replace that mission with an equally single minded determination to become the most materialistic nation the world has ever known.

Here is what I don't get. The ceo's say they have to cut staff to cut cost so they will lay off 1000 workers then give the same ceo a 15 or 20 million dollar raise or bonus.

The United Technologies Ceo gets 98 million dollars per year + perks. I'm sorry no one is worth that much.
