lol Wow.. Really? They need 20x as much money, or more, than it takes to 
buy, pay the taxes on, and fill their houses with the same crap everyone 
else does, because they "work harder"? Yeah.. Those single parents, who 
have to make up for the fact that they still have nearly the same net 
costs are a two parent home, with both working, and thus work 70-80 
hours a week, and hasn't had a vacation in 10 years, while he CEO is 
sitting on a beach some place, are working so much less hard than the CEO..

Seriously, as just on example, one of the damned "bosses" I have is 
supposed to be there 10 hours a day, 4 days out of the week, but is 
often there for 12-13 hours instead **and** he is a closer, so doesn't 
have to deal with customers much, or any of the other things the day 
managers have to deal with. The reason for him being there 12-13 hours a 
day, instead of 8, which one of the "non-managers" when they close 
manages to get things done it, while dealing with the same customer 
issues, the same in store issues, the same stocking issues, inventory 
management, and so on, is because, unlike every other bloody manager I 
have worked with (who almost always left when the store closed) is 
simply because he won't get off his ass and do his bloody work, until 
after all the help has left, and then, I spent more damn time doing crap 
the rest of them did themselves, for him, than he did.

More work, and harder.. Pull the other one, it has bells on.
