Absolutely, and when a CEO makes his objectives he gets paid for it and shares the fruits of his work because the company has made more $$ and can give it's employees raises ,expand t's business and employ more workers.
The CEO will spend his own money on more material things which increases
$$ for other companies.


Here's the difference between what a CEO creates and what a movie star like Alex Baldwin does. He get's his millions and spends it too,but doesn't give raises or employ more people. The only reason he gets paid is because of his looks,and acting which bring in more receipts to make more movie trash which is not a good influence on kids. No good creation here.

Politicians know the jealousy in human nature and play it like a fiddle to the less fortunate making them question why someone else has more. In most of the cases it's because they worked harder to get where they are and earned it.

Also..if you have a section of society that thinks it's ok to charge their life away just so they can "look" better than their friends, whose fault is that if they can't afford their rent or mortgage?
If anyone lives beyond their means, spending on things other than the basic neccessities, who do we blame when they fall behind on their rent, car payments, loans and everything else?

I see way too many people spending money they don't have just to "appear" to be successful to their friends and family while they are rocketing to the poorhouse with no brakes!!!

IS that the evil CEO's fault???

I am a legend in my own mind!
