    I think we all long for the days where the boss made a dollar and we made a dime. That’s a 10:1 ratio. With the current gap between CEO and worker it’s more like boss made forty dollars and I made a dime.

      And that’s probably not taking into account that the really low-paid workers at highly-paid job sites, like tech company offices, are contractors (W-2 employees of a separate company with a lower payscale).

    Hey, maybe you can get people so upset that they call a Constitutional Convention. I’m sure the places that voted for Trump will be all in on reform
