I read a post today that said that some oil company CEO -- [View All]

[OneBlueSky]

don't recall which one -- made $32 million last year . . .

trying to comprehend what $32 million looks like, I thought of someone earning, say, $100,000/year -- a comfortable income . . . if my calculations are correct, it would take that individual 320 years to earn the same amount that this thief legally stole in one year . . . (the money did, after all, come from those historic oil industry profits generated by the rapid and rigged rise in pump prices that WE PAID) . . .

extrapolating, if you earned $50,000/year, it would take you 640 years to make $32 million . . . if you made $25,000, 1,280 years! . . .

and this was his take for only one year! . . .

something is very, very wrong with this kind of discrepency between not even rich and the poor, but between the rich and the upper to lower middle class . . . no nation can survive this kind of disparity . . .

besides that -- I mean, shit, how much does one person need? . . .
