Funny, instead of focusing on bottom up, perhaps more focus should be
placed on top down. Toyota's top 37 executives earned a combined $21.6
million. That bum Wagoner's compensation, alone, was $14.4 million. At
Honda, the top 21 executives earned $11.1 million combined. Ford's CEO
Mulally's compensation was $17.7 million in 2008. If the boss thinks
there's that kind of money floating around, why wonder if the working man
wants a piece.
Or, is this just another example of voodoo economics, you know, Reagan's
"tinkle down" economics?
If the working man has the ability to climb the coproate ladder and earn
the fat pay check, good for him. Not everyone has the ability.
Jealousy of what someone else has achieved in life is no way to live the
rest of yours.
Yes, we all dream of being in the NBA also, but the reality is that very few
people will be pro athletes and very few will be millionaires. What's your
excuse?
Bertie Robbins (BAR) barely got out of high school, disdains formal
education, joined the marines, and was so competent at that he never not
an overseas posting. Now he works at a low level management position at
a Washington, D.C., tech company. He thinks he is a rugged individualist.
