I have no idea what Midichlorians are, but I do know that after many years of owning stock in various major corporations, I have never once been asked my opinion on executive compensation.

You are making some generalizations about wealth that have nothing to do with the cartoon in #1, which is pretty accurate. The possibility of earning a lot of money on Wall Street and in major corporations by doing the wrong thing was a major factor in the last two market crashes.

Buy more stock.

The people making those decisions most assuredly ARE stockholders.

The cartoon is accurate except for the "bonuses" bit.

It's not wrong to be paid the bonus you signed on for.

Whatever else happened, it had nothing to do with the bonuses. Those who shake their fingers at executives for making money are pushing class warfare and socialism.
