There are owners in society, (the Elite) and then there are the rest of us. We are mere flies to swat away when we bother the elite. How do you know if you are one of the elite? What are the signs? Well, to pick a couple examples from the above article:
You don’t even work for the company but are on the board and get paid $300k just for being on the board
The company you don’t work for but are on the board of is Enron
You then VOTE yourself a raise that is over 4 times the amount that you were receiving before. (note: you still don’t work for the company)
Amazing.
