Companies need CEOs dude. 22 million Americans run a sole proprietor small business and are CEOs, including me with two employees. My business gives those two people an income and a livelihood. You need to learn more about the world around you. I'll take republican politicians any day over liberals trying to kill jobs and kill our economy at every turn for their stupid socialist programs.

They made our country great through hard work and innovation! Get real. These people donate more to charity than you and I ever will, they employee thousands of people, and they drive humanity forward. They are arguably more valuable than the bottom 50% all put together. When you say top 0.01% you're talking also about great artists like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

Are you kidding me?! Movies are what make life worth living! Movies are humanity's greatest art incorporating all other art forms within. Art is what makes everything worthwhile. Without it, there's just boredom. Are you saying you don't get tons of entertainment from movies?! I mean get real.

Who cares about homelessness as a measure of society?! What matters is technological and artistic progress not 100% of people with homes but totally mediocre society. You don't live in reality dude, you can't see the bigger picture. A society isn't measured by its lowest but its highest members.

This thread is like a science project titled, "What's Wrong with America?"

This much misinformation, navel gazing and plain ol' ignorance in one place is **almost** overwhelming.

Hmmm, I like to eat. And I'm a lousy cook. My life would be fairly miserable without restaurant workers.
