About CEOs, I have posted many times that a good CEO is worth a lot of money.  If he is paying his labor ten dollars per hour, I don't think he deserves fifty million.  I definitly don't think a CEO should be given a golden parachute separation when the company went bankrupt (yes this has happened)

What about unions "protection" money. I was represented by a union for 39 years and never heard about protection money.  Would you please tell me about it.  Also, the union leaders.  Where do they live, their salary?  A construction trades business agent makes about $60,000 per year, a state level union rep makes about $100,000 per year.The state rep is representing several thousand workers.  What would your average CEO, that represented thousands of workers make? How many million? You have posted that I don't have a clue about business, you have posted that I am stupid about business,  what about your knowledge of unions?

You posted that I said I would not take a pay cut to allow another person to be hired.  I have never said that.  That statement is an untruth.  

Do you have a problem with Matt Damon making $15m for a movie role when others on the movie set make $10 an hour? What about Lebron James making $25m a year and the concession stand worker making $10 an hour? By your rationale they should be paid less so others can make more.
