CEO pay, class warfare, and the rich.

It is mostly due to the fact that the industrialists have been demonized since FDR's time. It is also due to the fact that Tiger Woods and Shaq have easily demonstrated talents; Joe Sixpack doesn't have a darn clue about what a CEO does for their company. Someone that punches the clock and heads to the bar can not understand that the CEO is never really off, is never away from their blackberry and cell phone and is never "clocked out". I would also like to add that I have been reading your comments for a few months now and usually find them to be spot-on; keep up the good work. CVN65

It's the frame

"why then am I asked to give up my earnings to an entity that intends to take a lions share my money and give it to those who they feel are more deserving of it?"

Why should I pay more so those who benefit more can pay less?

You seem to be willing to do so in the hopes that you will be allowed to join the club.

You frame the argument in favor of the favored.

The redistribution of wealth has been going on since Reagan. Poor to rich. Now the party is over.

See my blog for more detail.
