Basic math: the more upper management is paid, the less there is to pay the employees who actually produce value for the corporation, be it manufactured or processed items or services. Meanwhile we end up subsidizing these same greedy corporations with our tax dollars through tax breaks, offsets, and a safety net for their employees who often can't make ends meet. This model is not economically viable or sustainable, and it risks our long term national security. It makes a tiny group uber rich while exploiting the rest of us. We need to speak out against subsidizing this failed, dysfunctional model. Tomorrow President Obama will announce an Executive Order to help college students to get out from under their suffocating debt. The Senate is schedule to debate legislation to put it into law, but characteristically Republicans are against it because it is funded by reducing tax breaks for the uber rich. Time to spam your Senators' communications lines: Senator Harry Reid and Senator Dean Heller, whose side are you on? Will you support a few fat cats who will spend the rest of they and their children's lives in luxury, no matter what happens? Or will you support our country by helping young Americans who are pursuing professional careers to get out of debt so they can help us grow our national economy? Will you help to give the younger generation a more promising future or will you continue to enable our economic decline?
