Sometimes it’s enough to make you really consider socialism. The "billionaires boys club" called American capitalism is rife with corruption on a scale not seen in my lifetime. What else can you call it when CEOs make thousands of times the salary of the lowest paid workers in their corporations? What else but corruption could account for heads of companies that loose millions of dollars, still getting huge salaries and bonuses? Now the world stage has become the site of the latest big bucks extravaganza, and this time it’s going to Paul Wolfowitz!
Yes Paul "I Gave My Girlfriend An Illegal Raise" Wolfowitz is getting a performance bonus of $400,000 from the World Bank in June. WHAT? Yup, seems he’s eligible for it and I suspect that is what the negotiation was about before he resigned. At this point the World Bank would gladly pay him to leave, and apparently that is what they are doing.
My big question is this: "How do I get that kind of job?" I want a job where I can lie and cheat and steal and get caught with my hand in the cookie jar and still get a bonus!
The answer is simple, you have to be born into the right family and go to the right schools. Check out the CEOs of most companies in America. They came from wealth for the most part. They are effectively our royalty. Our founding fathers would be appalled!
