The movement against corporate greed that started on Wall
Street in New York City has come to Canada.
Toronto and Vancouver are both bracing for massive protests
on Saturday.
Hmmmm.
The 1%.
The people who control
most of the world's wealth.
Spent money on an
education, spent long hours working their way up.
They deserve what they
have.
Right?
It depends on whether you believe there is anyone on this
earth who deserves to be making
$16,826 an hour.
That's what Michael Duke, the CEO of Wal Mart makes.*
$16,826 an hour.
So what do you make?
*I found the salary info on
Yellow Dog Granny's blog and looked up his salary. He made $23 million during 2007. Couldn't find anything more recent but I
doubt his income has dropped. Thanks to YDG for doing the math on that one!

I liked the Fran Lebowitz quotation on Yellowdog Granny's blog where she said that no one EARNS that much money -- they STEAL it. Very true.
True. I haven't read anything by Fran Lebowitz in years. So glad she hasn't lost her edge!
