Then slowly they changed the way execs were paid and rewarded and they earned their money off the backs of the workers who took on more and more responsibility as people were laid off or not replaced when they quit.
When they reached the point that didn't create even larger bonuses they started oursourcing (Jack Welch) and then insisting anyone doing business with them oursource and then other companies to remain competitive oursourced and the CEO's were rewarded with larger bonuses and retirement packages, and the American Middle Class.... they were left holding the bag, sure they can shop cheaper at Wal Mart, but I bet most would say they would rather buy more expensive goods and still have good, solid, well-paying jobs.
Respectfully, you have no clue what you're talking about in several different ways.
For example:
The retiring CEO of EXON did not get $400 million as a retirement package, nor anything close.
The huge change in executive compensation came when Clinton waged a campaign against CEOs (but not athletes or actors or such) being paid more than $1 Million per year in salary. The surcharge put in place forced companies to link executive pay to the vagueries of the stock market, which with the stock market boom caused an explosion in effective executive pay. This happened BECAUSE of the voices of envy, who in acting emotionally and with no clue as to consequences, dove into the sea of unintended consequences. The "globalists" advocated the more stable traditional compensation system - the opposite of what you claim.
