Working at minimum wage you would make $10,500 annually. Most of the folks I know who earn low wages, work harder than anyone else both at their job and home to make ends meet.
I find it obscene that the CEO of Exxon/Mobil makes about $13,700 per hour.
Something is very wrong in America today, and that kind of disparity is a symptom. I believe everyone has a right to succeed and to make their own fortune if they can, however the insane pay doled out to the CEOs of America's biggest corporations do not reflect their hard work or talent. They are part of a club, the ruling elite, who went to the right schools and networked with the right fat cats an now are sucking their company and the public dry.
Jobs are outsourced to fatten the payroll of the top management, while the stakeholders in the firm, the "worker bees" find less and less in their paycheck and their benefits. So next time you fill your tank with $3.00 a gallon gas, send a special wish to Lee Raymond CEO of Exxon/Mobil.
