Money is hard to earn for you and me - well, me anyhow. It's a lot easier to earn if you start from a base of a $million plus the way at least 1/3 of all CEO's have started. And how is getting a 65% raise "punishment," especially when your company shows "only" a 50% increase in profits?
If you set up the system: "'the harder you work, the less you can keep' what would happen?" If you'd read my post, you'd see I answered that. Middle managers, demoralized by stagnant earnings and increasing layoffs, no longer give the job their best effort. This is both bad for them and bad for the company. Or are you so wealthy, you don't give a damn about the middle class?
