A company has a fixed amount of profit with which to share amongst the workers, so that when the man at the top takes several million for himself, it leaves the those below him with less to go around. That is the state of labor in the 21st century. I am reasonably certain that wage earners would rather that the worker would much prefer that the salary for his work go up, not to have something tricklhy down from the multi-millionaire who is taking the lion's share of the available salary dollars.
The very sad thing is that it is the people who need income redistribution the most who vote for the politicians who are least likely to support such a change. I am all for what Kansas governor Grover Norquist is doing, which is putting Republican ideas about small government and lower taxes into action--those who call for these changes should live by those decisions, and if they are happier that way, fabulous. But in the mean time, pay workers their fair share.
