Wealth

I heard on NPR recently that the average CEO makes over 400x more than the average working class.

This makes me sick.

Someone once told me the difference between a Rich Man and a Poor Man is the Rich Man makes $1 and spends .99 cents while a Poor Man makes $1 and spends $1.01 --

To that i say: NO.
The difference is the Rich Man makes $4 and can spend what he wants while the Poor Man makes a penny and struggles for survival.

Maybe my case isn't so drastic, but i feel it daily attempting to pay rent in an expensive city where i have no hope of ever saving money.
