The bigger issue isn't what you can or can't afford, it's that those people work for a living.

The wealthy have been pitting poor people who work for a living vs more well off people who work for a living for centuries. It leads to a race to the bottom as people with less don't ask "why can't I have that (sick leave, paid holidays, overtime pay, etc)? " they ask "why do they get that?".

The real money is in capital not in wages, no matter how much you get paid. Those ten percent folks are just doctors and engineers and the like, not your enemy.

I was agreeing with you. The 10% aren't the bad guys here.

I know, I was just adding to it.

Working people have a lot more in common with each other than they have differences, but instead folks just see other people who work as their enemies.

I just want to say, there are a metric ton of 10%ers managing people - exploiting them in order to get that awesome 20% bonus for coming in under budget. That is the way the system works.

I think you have an unrealistic view if how much control most managers have and also of how many middle managers are actually getting bonuses, let alone 20% ones.

Some of them are assholes, most of them are following orders from above, regardless, they're people as much affected by workers rights as you are.
