Speaking of Buffalo, I believe that, as corporations go in America, Toyota is among the better ones.

Hi Zig,

Like you, I don't begrudge a man getting paid very well, and like you, I agree that he earned it a lot more than CEO's earn many times as much. I am much less concerned about the laborer getting paid 4x what he should than the CEO getting 100x more than the hardest workers get.

It does, still, contribute to negative production per cost, and I suppose that such practices as excessive union pay should be reviewed AS LONG AS the excessive executive pay is reviewed as well. I don't think double-time is an unacceptable limit.

About 47.5 million Americans work for corporations with over 500 employees, another 14.5 million work for compaines and corporations with between 100 and 500 employees, and about 19 million work for companies and corporations that employee between 20 and 99 workers and 19 million work for small business that employee less then 20 workers.

And as for good ones vs bad ones, I would say the ratio would be somewhere between 9 to 1 and 9.5 to .5, if not higher. Very few are out to rob the working man and destroy the environment and even less are out to do both.

You do that Ziggy baby ...... and see how long they can provide for themselves and their famlies without the benefit of the goods produced by those corporations.

GEEEZUS, they wouldn't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of ....... because they are not capable of producing either for their own use.
