Hello SA Sorry, i lost my train of thought here. My theory about zero-net-gain is that when someone ( such as the CEOs you have been talking about) make million, those millions have to come from somewhere. Yes the bottom line is that the wealth is not evenly divided. So in order for someone to get super rich, someone has to be short changed. Oh i can already hear the outcries saying that I am advocating socialism and that we should all be making the same amount of money despite our efforts. NO. What I am saying is that NO effort merits a million dollars a day. That money that went to the CEO had to come from somewhere. It sure did not go to the share holders. Or those doing the day-to-day labor. In fact a CEO's pay get bigger if he is able to out source and lay off a few hundred employees. The zero-net-gain means that there is only so much money, land, recourses available for all. How you go about dividing is another story. yes Hard work should be rewarded accordingly. And no, if you don't work, there should be no welfare system to support you. If you work, you get rewarded. The Japanese used to have a rule ( or the story goes) that the highest paid exec did not make more than 7 times the lowest paid janitor. So these guys on the top ( remember Enron) rake it in, because someone else is not getting any. The other thing that I have an issue with is that these are PUBLICLY traded companies. We are talking about the CEO and not the owner of the company. Hey, if you invent something like the airbag, and you are the only manufacturer in the world until the patent runs out and you become a billionaire selling your product. GOOD FOR YOU. khaled ____________________________________________________________ Develop a fitness program that works for you.
