New Zealand’s 8 million Dollar Salaries
For the most
part the average working man/ woman will tolerate some pay difference, after
all someone with a particular skill that is in short supply should be able to
command a higher fee.
Problems arise
when the difference between the lowest paid and the highest paid is so great
that it is impossible to justify.
The desire to
earn an obscene amount of money to display to your fellow man how clever or
important you are is something that is in our human nature as is the desire of
the less well-off to take that person to task about it
Throughout
history there are examples of the elites of this world who felt entitled to
more than what the average person would call a fair amount of the pie.
A classic case
of what could happen and has happened in the past is the story of Marie
Antoinette the last queen of France before she lost her head in the revolution,
the famous quote attributed to her when told that the peasants that were
starving “let them eat cake”
The is an
obvious lesson here of course for the 1% who have all the wealth .let more than
some crumbs fall from the high table or risk losing your head
