This is where you fall out of the economic theory sir...
Free enterprise allows anyone to provide services for anyone else.. IF I am making such insane money, you can go open a competing business, charge FAR FAR less and make your millions... Fact is that is NOT how it works.. profit margins are in the single digits for all but the best run companies..
you need some economics reality here.. If you can save 10% on production, you slash like amounts off the sale of said services or products to cut under the competition....
You act like employers are running work camps and this is not the case... they are trying to provide services and products at competitive prices.. when you fail to do so, you go the way of the Big 3.... stop and think about his a bit and I am sure someone can suggest some good books on economics for you to read..
Sure. Better some income than no income. But I do agree that it is disgraceful that the everyday person has to take cuts and risk losing their job because of the out and out greed we have seen from the corporate world.
In 2005, the average CEO in the United States earned 262 times the pay of the average worker, the second-highest level of this ratio in the 40 years for which there are data. In 2005, a CEO earned more in one workday (there are 260 in a year) than an average worker earned in 52 weeks.
CEO-to-worker pay imbalance grows
If what you were saying was true then the above article would not have been written. It seems the average CEO is doing much more than simply trying to provide competitive products and competitive prices.
I don't think you are completely wrong, you are just looking at it through to narrow a lens, you need to look at the forrest not just a couple trees.
