So it is just ALL about the money!!
I read in the AP news today that Corporate CEO’s are making more than even professional athletes…Don’t we all wish to even dream about all that…but the article went on…
“The high cost of chief executive pay has drawn criticism in recent years as salaries rose, stock options paid off like lottery jackpots, and perks like chauffeured cars and private jets spread…”Perks…I like the perk that I get to get up 5 days a week and smile the entire day and after taxes….hmmm I just know I need to be thankful for a job. Makes me wonder though…I think our school has to post salaries (but of course not with names…but come on…there is only on superintendent…and his salary…is FAR more than mine….but WHAT are HIS perks I wonder…I know he gets a school car (nice car and probably a newer one then the rest of the school cars)…he gets a scooter – you got it…a rascal to the rescue…guess I shouldn’t complain too much…but then he’s retiring this year…wonder what his retirement benefits look like?)
“If the minimum wage had risen at the same pace as CEO pay since 1990, it would be worth $22.61 today, according to the Institute for Policy Studies. Instead, the federal minimum wage will increase to $5.85 an hour on July 24, the first increase in a decade.”Can you imagine $22.61/hour….
unbelievable….
that would be a really good incentive for me to want to work…maybe then I wouldn’t have to worry about working until I die…because right now, I’ll be 90 y/o before I can qualified for Social Security’s…and even then…medical coverage is IFy!
