have usually done the most WORK, because they created the opportunity. You think incredible businesses just appear out of thin air? Heck no, most of them took years of effort, attempts and failures to get it right. Why shouldn't the people who make that happen (the original producers) get the biggest reward personally? Think of the millions and billions of dollars those companies pay out to the employees, and taxes and benefits paid on their behalf, the factories and offices built to do the work in? I'm sure it is much, much greater than the executive salaries.

Would there even be boardies posting on a message board if those businesses, jobs and wages hadn't been created? NOPE! We'd still be washing clothes by hand and raising/butchering our own chickens at home. (I know some of us love those things, but it is a matter of our time. We have traded our time for money, which allows us to buy things we don't want to put our own time into or do without)

I'm not saying the traditional business model is the only way to go, because there are new models offering better opportunity to all involved. But the traditional model is what this country was built on and has thrived on and most of us here have used/depended on for our own personal goals.
