Thanks for the comment.  It concerns me because I know a number of small business people, very few of which make several multiples of their employees, yet they get painted with the same brush.  My previous employer before becoming self-employed lost a lot of money when the company was sold and we only employed a little over 100 people (less than that at the end).  Most "CEO's" don't make hundreds of times what their people make.  They just don't.

But, possibly because of our own desire to support our own version of the truth, we simply look for statistics that seem to line up with what we believe and then we spread that all over the Internet.  It's one consequence of relative truth... we all become divided by our opinions rather than seeking to find a unifying truth.

And generally the truth is less complex.  There are some crooks.  There are some boards of directors who pay these people because they want the exorbitant income as well.  And many of us are fine with it when our 401k's and our IRA's are increasing in value.  We're only upset with it when it goes down.  Then we want to blame someone.

But I'm getting into my next post... Thanks for the great comment.
