6. Those that defend income disparity |
|
and those that say occupy is a movement of "jealousy", I would like them to answer just one question -
We have all seen the charts, the income for the wealthiest keeps going in one direction, up, and the income for the rest of us keeps moving in the opposite direction, down.
Ok then, just when is it okay to protest, when we are working for loaf of bread a day? or perhaps when the majority of Americans are working for minimum wage? just when is it ok to speak out?
How low is the 1% willing to admit is too low?

7. Definition of Capitalism, taken from The Distributist Review |
|
"CEO wages can never be too high, employees' wages can never be too low".
I don't believe that disparities of income are *always* evil (some income inequality can be the just reward for hard work and enterprise). But I believe that there should be limits to inequality. A CEO earning 600 times as much as his (or occasionally her) workers is just ridiculous.

Yes I know Marie Antoinette didn't actually say that, but it still didn't end well for her. Nor will it for Faux Propaganda Channel.
