I'm actually shocked that it is ONLY 3.2 million.
Imagine how expensive an iphone would be if it were made here in the USA by quality union labor.
We can't have it both ways, either it gets made "over there" and sold here at an affordable price, or it gets made here and costs twice as much.
Average salaries would rise to compensate for a more expensive cost of living. That's why a cop in San Francisco makes almost double what a cop in Columbia, South Carolina makes.
The problem that causes is CEOs would have to relinquish their stranglehold on income disparity. But they wouldn't.
So consumers are to blame. And before someone goes full potato on me, I guess wanting a 1950s income parity makes me a frothing socialist.
To the majority on here, yes it does. We are here to work for corporations and it's our fault that we are all poor. Somehow stocks becoming more important than taking care of your employees had zero to do with it.

If this is your outlook, then get off your complaining ass and start your own business.....
But...it is. We all make decisions in life and must live with the consequences.
HOWEVER..having tons of money doesnt make you rich or better off than other people. I got 3 couples here at work pulling a metric Asston of cash..all of them broke, miserable, hate their lives. They all wonder how I have a nicer car, house, go on trips, etc, making less than them.
Make smart decisions :good!:
Sadly for many people listening to their parents during their high school years doesnt happen and only years later do you realize "Damn, Mom and Dad were right! I should have studied more and strived for better grades!". Well, back to sucking sh!t outta portapotties! :whistling:
And I don't have a huge alcohol/drug problem so I save some $ there.

Yep I completely agree with you. I think the problem is that most people are getting less from their parents than what I got or what maybe you receieved. Broken families living in poverty will always produce misguided adults.
