You don't say so, but I assume that this "lesser skilled" employee works
full time. What's broken is clearly a salary structure that does not allow
a working person to support herself and her child above the poverty line.
Meanwhile, CEOs and upper management draw salaries that are almost
unimaginable, and the gap is rapidly growing.

Well the typical socialist answer is "lets regulate salaries". Some of the
outrageous salary and benefits packages some CEO's get not withstanding, the
alternative is pure socialism (or communism).

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Sounds
so nice I'm sure. Well, the Soviet Union tried it and failed miserably. Castro
is still trying it and it isn't working.... and it never will. It was even
tried briefly in America's first English settlement in Virginia... until they
discovered that people quit working as hard when they discovered they would
receive a sufficient share of food no matter how hard they worked and there
was even less of it.


But don't worry... we'll keep on trying it here in the U.S. because people
still think it will work. It's sort of like the definition of insanity....
