And who pays your boss the money he uses to pay your wages? Let me
guess he has a money tree in his back room and just goes picks it off .

Again where does the money come from to pay someone in the service industry?
lets look at GM. GM makes a car, sells it. Pays workers wages. Hires a
service
company to transport its vehicles to dealerships. Buys parts to manufacture
more cars.
Hires yet another to bring parts to its manufacturing plants to build more
cars.
Transportation company pays its workers, who in turn buy cars, pay doctors
bills,
hire CPAs, get hair cuts, hey those are all service industries. The parts
manufactures
sell their parts to GM. Pays its workers out of the profits.
Guess what they hire service industry workers. Those workers decide to buy
houses, another
manufacturer, developer pays contractors, masons, etc out of the profits
from the manufacture
and sale of homes, who in turn spend it with workers in the service
industries, as well as
manufacturers.
Not one for liking movies as a source of knowledge or wise sayings, but
college
instructors teach economics, and the only good line tom cruise ever had came
from the
movie "Cocktail" when he told his professor if he really knew anything he
would be
a CEO for a major corporation pulling down 7 figures, instead of a college
professor
earning 40k a year. Those that can, do, those that cant teach. And they
always have to
make things sound 10 times more complicated than they really are.
Blue, collar, not quite, I work in the IT field supporting computerized POS
and inventory control
sytems running on Windows platforms, and about 7 different POS software
platforms covering the west central coast of Florida. Before benifits,
about 57K last year, so cash, I am in the Ford auto worker's range of pay.
I would much rather do
what I do for my wages than what he does. My working conditions are better,
a hell of lot less dangerous, and a hell of a lot less strenuous. On the
flip side, he has way better hours than I do, better medical, and a better
retirement plan.
But blue collar roots run deep in my family and my wifes, members of which
bleed in the streets
to form the unions that improved the working mans life, and as such yours
as well. Daily those
improvements are being chipped away at all the while people like you
applaud.
Me thinks your major issue is those factory workers make more money than you
do. The people
you should be most pissed at aren't the workers, but the upper management,
the ivory tower residents,
and many share holders who care a tinkers damn about the long term, only the
here and now.
There isnt a CEO out there that is worth the millions they get paid.
What does Walmarts CEO do that is worth $22 million dollars a year?
or how about United Health Groups CEO, $58 million last year, plus $114,
552,832 in stock options cashed out last year, with almost.$140 million more
to excersise from previous years(and people wonder why health care is so
high)
Lawerance Johnson, CEO Albertsons, $13.25 million, company was disolved this
week.
William Clay Ford raked in $22,185,692 last year, plus he cashed out
$5,326,527 in stock
options and has another $16,150,975 in unexcerised options. His wages
before unexcercised options would pay the wages of over 400 of Ford's
workers. There is the real greed, but you begrudge the person who makes
that possible a lousy $65,000 a year including benefits.
