Who Earns Most? Ratio of Pay CEO-to-Worker - The Salary Reporter

And then, they don't want to pay taxes even though it is America's infrastructure that helped build the company!
If these people worked their way up the ladder using America's infrastructure, why can't you?

Are you banned from the streets and highways?

You want to worship the wealthy that take advantage of you and America, you go ahead. I am sure they would give you the privilege of scrubbing their toilets for them.

Do you pay your employees the same as you make? I sure do not.

I pay my taxes to cover the infrastructure I use. Time for those "job creators" who are raping our country to do the same!

Then you are not in the category of the rich. You may like to think you are and think if you defend them, you will be some day but you cannot be compared to the wealthy this thread is about.

5 tax breaks help rich get richer
Because the wealthier have a higher overall tax rate, when they get a tax break, it's far more valuable for them than it is for the Average Joe.

Correct I am not. Just because I am not dosnt mean I expect them to pay 2000 times as much in taxes AS i PAY.

So how much do you pay your employees , you seem to want to avoid the question.
