I have been browsing blogger land a lot in recent days. I knew there was a disparity between the salary of some CEOs and their employees, but these numbers are insane. Check them out at Cobb on Money’s December post.
I already feel guilty enough some days just having food on the table and money for dinners out and a little fun. I could never justify salaries like that for me, but I try to justify their salaries — thinking they might donate millions or hundreds of thousands back. . . but if more people made a living wage, there would be less need for millions in donations. . .
If the money given to one individual was spread out among the employees. . . maybe it would not make enough difference to research and some charities,(on the assumption huge amounts were donated by ALL CEO’s, but sometimes it is that small extra in a paycheck that feeds or buys medicine.
