Actually, the wage gap between a private and a general is far, far less than between workers and CEOs. That is one reason why our miltary has such good morale and is so effective. Some countries, though, pay/endow their generals more like CEOs and those countries, coincidentally seem to have lousy armies. Like Iraq. parsy.
Actually, I think the reason why military morale has improved is because Clinton is out and Bush is in!
Parsy, I think you'd be better off if you would start working on your law practice and stop worrying about how much other people are getting paid.
CEO's get paid a lot of money because they have a lot of responsibility. No one is holding a gun to Board's head and saying, "Up the CEO's salary." They are paid commensurate with their value to the company. Workers are also paid commensurate to their value to the company. You don't like that, and want to whine about it.
Grow up and get to work. The rest of us are tired of hearing about your "feelings," none of which are backed up by reason and objective facts. You are a perfect example of the type of economic illiteracy that is so prevalent in our society today, and you a law school graduate! Incredible.
