Quote from video accessed by link below:
“Thirty years ago, the CEOs that are in ‘Undercover Boss’ were making 30 times as much as their working people. Now, they’re making 300 times as much! We’re about to become Venezuela, or Brazil, you know where the people at the top are basically behind they’re gates with guards to protect their kids from kidnapping. The middle class is crumbling and that’s the country we’re going to become… if we don’t fundamentally change where we’re going.”
Arianna On ‘Real Time’: The Middle Class Is Crumbling
A comment was made about CEOs not knowing what was going on below their levels in a company. It is not that they do not know, it is that they do not care. So many of those folks have a sense of entitlement to their obscene salaries. Bill Maher is right. We have it backwards. The upper echelons get theirs before the folks that really produce get theirs. I have no problems with those having more responsibilities, skills, etc getting more money for what they do. Heaven knows, I was a boss for 6 years and I hated every day of it. But I am sorry, no one is worth 300 times the what the worker bees are making.
The whole time I was reading this book I kept picturing Ray Kroc (the founding father of McDonalds) as played by Gene Wilder screaming, “It’s alive, it’s alive.” 
My grandmother had an old milk cow she called Ole Heart. Ole Heart helped my grandmother make ends meet. She would sell excess milk and butter to various folks around town that preferred their milk straight from the cow rather than the supermarket. She would get a calf from Ole Heart once a year that she raised for beef and put in her freezer. She and the cow had been together many years.
