Nah...
I'd rather work for a living....
There is a certain satisfaction that comes with actually doing something physical...and productive
Besides...when the bottom falls out I will still be useful....paper shuffling never made corn grow.
and lastly I like my soul...think I'll keep it.

Who wants to be rich anyway? Money's not important to happiness, once the necessities are covered.

Darlin, that really isn't the best attitude to have at the start of our relationship.Bob Peale said:Whatever would I do with all that money, anyway?
Here are some suggestions:
Contribute to the Barb Dwyer Lingerie Fund
Donate to the Barb Dwyer Jaguar XK8 Cause
Take Barb Dwyer out for a nice steak dinner
Buy Barb Dwyer expensive baubles
Chip in to the Barb Dwyer Retirement Account
... for starters.

Sounds like a plan to me!
*stuffing brand new panties into Bob Peale's jacket pocket*
*rising from the table --- with my doggie bag
--- sashaying to the exit and showing a brief glimpse of ass getting into my new Jag!*

Re: Nah...
But that paper shuffling DOES make a market for the farmers to be able to SELL that corn that they grow. Ever hear of corn futures? The commodity market? You don't just load up the pickup and hall a few hundred acres of corn down to the local Saturday morning farmer's market in town.
I am what you would call a "paper with numbers shuffler." I'm good at it and I'm paid well. I won't apologize for that.
And, by the way, I still have my soul, too.

I just meant that
I can grow corn for myself and survive on my own.
CEO's don't create markets for corn...
hunger does.
And you don't need to apologize. I only have a gripe with those making exorbitant profits while refusing to acknowledge the work of those who actually do the work.
BTW....it is a damn sexy soul too

Nope, hunger is the need, not the market.
The actual market to be able to move that corn to feed that need is created with a lot of paperwork. You could have a lot of starving people in the same state as all that corn is grown. You need a system, a market, to get it from the supply side of the equation to the demand side. Paperpushers do that.

A compromise?
But the paper doesn't move the corn....
The wagon does and the wagon driver.
If all else was to breakdown the wagon and driver is the indispensable part. It may be more difficult without management but it is impossible without labor.
Sort of like the brain and the heart. They both need each other to make life worth living. The body can survive without the brain..True, it is merely existence but if the heart stops...all of it dies.
Management needs to treat labor with the respect it deserves and that is done by sharing equitably in the profits of the company.
If it performs well, it does so because all the parts work together. Yet the management teams take home 100% bonuses and the rank and file gets a COLA and an attaboy.

Re: A compromise?
Okay, a compromise on the corn.
But, it doesn't always work your way with pay. I'm working on budgets for my company right now. There is one division that is performing exceedingly poor. In that division, the rank and file employees are still going to get their 3% raises. The exec management are getting NO raises at all. While they may not do the physical labor, the performance of the division, or lack there of, rests on management's shoulders alone.
In the other divisions which are making their budgets this year, management and rank and file get the same percentage raise.
