Wait until you find out how far the pay of those rich assholes goes when you spread it around!

There are good arguments to be made for unionization. That some people make more - sometimes substantially more - isn't always one of them. Certainly trying to stoke anger might not always be the best of all available ways to win over people trying to be thoughtful.

Executive salaries aren't the same thing as the surplus value extracted from your labor. If that was spread equally, each employee would make considerably more.

Like by raising wages? How else would you spread it around?

Read marx. Or chomsky.

This just smacks of jealousy. Maybe get some perspective and appreciate what you have, not what others have that you don't.

Hell yea I am jealous, have you met rich people? Do you realize how they live and how little they work and the absolutely shitty society that we have to live in to keep them rich? Of course I am jealous. How are you not? I see you also work for Google. Do you realize how much money Eric Schmidt makes off your labor while fucking women in some mansion? Do you realize how shitty the internet is for the sole purpose of selling ads? How shitty our phones are for the purpose of selling apps? Fuck appreciating that. Rich people ruin it for everyone.
