still doesn't directly affect you and your ability to produce. Unless you are an investor in that company or in some other way directly involved it shouldn't matter.

Class warfare is the tools of those who wish to put their heels on your neck. Nobody is owed anything, especially the fruits of someone elses labor. If you believe it to be so, then start a PAC, demanding lower ticket prices to NFL and NBA games, and demanding a portion of their salaries go to social programs that help the poor.

There is nothing in this society, except Gov't, that holds people back from being successful. Not lack of education. Not racial hurdles. Nothing. Except laziness, and the feeling of entitlements. That's one of the reasons there is a growing divide in the wealthy and poor, if not the largest reason. Nobody wants to work to accomplish the success others have. They have it ingrained that it's owed to them. And who is responsible for this? 2 groups. The lazy, lack of common sense citizens, and the politicians who wish to keep people poor, under gov't control with subsidies and entitlements. If you'd like to blame anyone, blame those two groups.
