I think in a global marketplace, that all the best business people should move to the most prosperous nation in the world to make the most money. What happens to populations worldwide is really of no concern as long as business is conducted legally(i.e. to screw the working man of his share. Ohnoes, I said working man, and have therefore labeled myself and made my opinion void). The end result of a truly competitive world market, which is allowed to run freely is a VERY, VERY SCARY PROSPECT. If you need to ask why, I can't help you.

ps, I know you're against free trade cross.

Is it "wrong" then that Vanek makes $7 mil a season while Ellis makes $700,000?

And your answer inevitably will be....no. Because Vanek's "value" to the organization states he is worth 7 million. Ellis value to the organization states he is worth considerably less. Why? Performance! The best get paid like the best, and the rest get paid like the rest. It's the same in business....... you are paid what the market states your value is. If we don't think TV is worth $7 mil, we let him go and guess what? Someone gives him $8 million. Same in business, you need to pay the going rate to retain your talent. Once you are deemed to not be worth your salary, you're gone.

Unless you work in the finance industry.

Then you get a bonus.

I was saying he was right to the CEO's getting bonuses instead of being held responsible :/ I'm not sure if we're on the same side on this one, but I think so?
