It depends on the pay being cut. I stand by my statement that a cut from $10MM to $9MM is not drastic. That same ten percent cut from $8.00 per hour to $7.20 per hour IS drastic. If you don't already understand the difference, no amount of explaining, even using small words, will enlighten you. Walmart Sucks and Here Is Why: 1344Phil Precisely my point. While I've learned that people in power often say "money isn't everything" right before they exploit you, on some level they're correct. Choosing a job or... I'm a lot closer to that $8-hr pay rate than to $10MM. Pay raises do not help the unmotivated remain unmotivated; they help the worker buy food, clothing and medicine. That last million dollars in executive pay won't buy its recipient necessities but additional luxuries. such as a second, third or fourth home, a snazzier car, or a few more mutual fund units. I challenge you to make a convincing case that the second, third or fourth home, snazzier car, or additional mutual fund units are as necessary to the millionaire as milk, shoes, or amoxicillin are to the broom-pusher. -- "As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." -- H. L. Mencken, in the Baltimore Sun, July 26, 1920
