I'm back in China...I have to admit I forgot what being poor really looks like. Government is trying but corruption is still rampant. We are so privileged in western countries, we don't really understand what it means to be poor. Did anyone see SlumDog Millionaire? Getting enough to eat to sustain you for the day is the goals of millions.
During the Bush administration, there was a giant widening of pay structure between Executive level and staff. I thought I read... Bank Executives increased their salary/bonus/perks by something like 70% in the past 12 years! Line workers rarely kept up with inflation!
