That is what America has always been about, average people doing various and extraordinary things, that advance the nation, and reaping the rewards for it.
How many employees does Facebook pay minimum wage to?

That is what America used to be about. I get the impression it isn't anymore. It's now about sticking to them and trying to take the awards away because being rich is a bad bad thing.

I don't worship the wealthy and they are not taking advantage of me. I'm doing quite well and don't care how much money CEOs make. I focus on meeting my needs, not what rich people make.
