that inflection at 2004. Before it was just the poors but its been working its way up and even doctors are seeing it. Unfortunately a lot of dufusses think the problem is below them.

the rigging goes further than the ceo pay; if i had a dollar for every time i got laughed at for only patronizing unionized locations, i would get free coffee from starbucks.

but probably only one or 2 because their shit is expensive. lol

CEOs are only a small part of the problem. They are class traitors who get paid a lot for their direct service to the capital. The main problem is the capitalists themselves.
