When the on-the-job for two weeks head of Washington Mutual is canned along with his company,he gets to keep his advance plus severance pay, amounting, in total, to nearly twenty million dollars: Over one million dollars a day for failing.
The elite in this rigged market system of ours & the hired hands they hold on leash, write their own salaries, & to hell with the 90+% of the rest of us who are "...created equal..." "...endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."
However,what equivalency--equal value or worth--and what rights do 90+% of us have when we are given the choice between business-as-usual and government-as-usual? Do the billionaires and their accomplices get to tell us what's right or do the Stalins have control?
Only equivalency of input at all size-scales of life--from planetary through 9 or 10 size-scales of republican- democracy to the individual size-scale, can result in equivalency and the realization of our unalienable rights.
