Again......
It's not so much "redistribution of wealth" It's more like "distribution of wealth" to those who perform the labor.

I must admit that ceo's are very efficient task masters. They provide the minium possible salary to the pion laboring to make his products that are sold for maximum proffit.

It's not rocket science, it's what you call economics. The less I pay the labor and the more I command in proffit means the more salary I can make on that profit margine. This does not make the CEO any smarter or justify the 1.2 mil bonus, it just means he increased his profit to overhead ratio and the best way to accomplish this is to squeeze the labor, thin it down to its lowest common denominator yet maintain output OR increse output (whip the slaves harder to make them work harder) without increasing their salaries.

Again this is not rocket sicence.
The average American household with at least one credit card has nearly $9,200 in credit card debt, according to CardWeb.com, and the average interest rate runs in the mid- to high teens at any given time. IE Will work for minum wage.

There are plenty of "poor" slob laborers out there to choose from who have no choice but to work for peanuts. I'm not one of them.

Didn't you say in another thread that you receive some kind of welfare?

I worked nearly all my life as a computer repair tech and am entitled to and command a salary of 35k. Thats all I need to make ends meet in my current situation.

Last year I made just over 20k as a dell certified systems expert last year. My outgo to perform that job alone was in the area of 5k leaving me with 15k to live on. another 5k went to the gubment because my ex was on welfare so they came after me to pay it back. That left 10k. My living expences easily gobbled it up. and that 20k was pre income tax.

When fuel costs went up I asked my manager for a raise. he laughed at me and said "what do you want me to do about it" I said take it to your next meeting and discuss it or I will be forced to resign and find employment elsewhere. Unfortunatly my field is glutted with paper and not real experience and work that job for experience then quit after a few months. I worked that job for 3 years, I was one of maybe 15 people with the lowest man number. In any case I must weigh my income to outgo ratio carefuly. Now that fuel costs have risen once again I must raise that minimum salary requirement about anotehr 1 to 2 k.

I have performed other tasks but since they are not my field of expertise I am "not able to meet minimum standard output" and ususally get canned in short order. Interestingly enough I still see many people come and go before I am shown the door.

I also applied to pick oranges at minimum wage last year.. I was never contacted. I applied as a dishwasher, I was never contacted. I've applied to Getronics, Robert Half, CVS, ABC liqure store, Maraithon gas station, Hess, Walmart, Walgreens just last week alone... <insert cricket chirpings here>

So yeah.. I'm sorry but I'm hungry and need food. Thanks for allowing me to have some of my money back while I work my way through tough times.

This was filed on last years tax return. I only put in what reciepts I had. I could have used my bank statements to increase it further (it is a ledger that can be used) but I just chose to use the physical reciepts. This does not include my cellphone which was part of my job requirements and qualifies as a tax deducation. I did however claim that as well.
