re: #128 Charleston Chew

There’s an aspect to the psychology of a-hole billionaires that I just can’t fathom. Some of them have insane amounts of money and are quite old, yet still work really hard every day to screw the rest of us. What gives them that drive?

For instance, I understand why someone making $25 thousand or even $250 thousand a year would be opposed to regulation if they thought it would lead to them losing their job. They got bills to pay.

But why do the billionaire owners of the places those people work, who have virtually infinite money, seem so desperate to make that infinity + 1?

To me the most disturbing trend is how CEOs will reward themselves even if their company isn’t doing well profitably wise oor the gap between executive pay and worker pay has risen dramatically. I think that’s far greater class warfare than Obama and the Democrats wanting the rich to pay what they paid in the Clinton years.
