I don't think this is a gap between who makes what. It is a actually a growing gap between those that sit on their ass and those that actually get up every morning and go to work.

It's an ignorant statement like this that pisses me off. I usually ignore your posts, but a statement like this irritates me !
I can speak from example ! I am a hard worker. I bust my a$$ for whoever I work for. Then, the job market got a little tough. Did the higer-ups feel it ? No ! They just moved jobs and their money overseas and laid everyone off. I have been laid off in this manner twice in my life only to end up being forced to take tougher jobs for less pay and less benefits if any benefits at all and those benefits are constantly draining due to companies trimming their fat and the CEO's giving themselves raises ! As a matter of fact, a LOT of these company CEO's are making their bonuses by making their company apear to be making profit BY laying people off !
There are a lot of us hard workers out there who actually DO go to work and work our asses off thank you very much ! Whether you like it or not, the divide between the wealthy and the poor (The middle class is dropping into the poor class as we speak) IS increasing in levels never before seen ! As companies ditch the US and move overseas and take their money with them, or keep the money in their own little circles, and pay us less for working for them, our cost of living is going up, up, up. 5% of the people in the US control 90% of it's wealth ! Think about that before you call us hard workers who are getting the shaft from the higher ups people who sit on their asses and don't work.
