Agreed- Companies, in my opinion, should take those huge bonuses and spread them out amoung the people lower on the rung- the very people who ENABLE their superiors to do their jobs effectively- I think superiors should be rewarded for jobs well done, but my gosh- it's the people working under them that make or break the company as well- share the winfalls more equally- this creates job appreciation amoung the workers rather than an atmosphere of contempt.

The idea was that in the USA, a business leader pulls his employees up with him, while in Mexico there is a small, super-rich elite who have a bunch of "dirt-poor" people working for them. Because of this (at least partially), the United States is much more successful/developed than Mexico.
The great thing about capitalism is that you have the opportunity to create your own successful company and spread out those huge bonuses as you see fit. However, many very successful companies have chosen to highly reward their chief executives. I think our president ought not weigh in on this issue and I am disappointed at his comments.
