Who are the takers?

Conservatives love to complain about the takers? I have friends that complain about takers.

Most big corporate officers/CEOs/business managers are only useful as they take the burden of running the company off of the actual producers in the company. They have a job that adds value to the business, sure, but they are not ultimately important to the company success.

I read once the CEO of United Healthcare makes over $20k an hour, and imagine what the other execs and main shareholders are making. I can guarantee that guy does not add $20k/hr worth of value to his company. Basically he's allowed to leach money out of a system, far more than the worth he adds.

Imagine all the over paid people in our economy and you can see who is really doing the taking. I think I need to make a meme.
