Re: , this evil fifth quintile that you are denouncing

Hmmm. I should have written more.

The CEO's that are getting millions to billions for showing up at their desk each day (hired hands of us stockholders) -have done a terrible job, while abusing their fiduciary responsibility and paying themselves 100% and more of the earnings of the companies they were hired to operate. They're like clerks in a store that keep all the profits for themselves, leaving the owners with nothing.

A separate issue is that too much wealth in too few hands kills off consumption. I tried to make it clear that it's just as bad when the wealth is spread around too evenly (then there's not enough investment). I'm concerned that we've gotten to the point where too much income is in too few hands - which is limiting total demand and resulting in recession and deflation.
