“It’s odd how there are never any articles criticizing what pop stars, actors and footballers earn”

There are plenty of articles criticizing what footballers earn http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23931053

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/dec/07/sport.comment

There are plenty of articles criticizing actors being paid too much http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/hugh-jackman-hollywood-actors-are-paid-too-much-1448004

Your problem is you are a Tory troll who loves a system that doesn’t even benefit him that much.

Jobs and Gates both rode a wave of many other talented people with out whom they could not have done anything. Technology and IT are a group enterprise.

Before you build your temple to him I suggest that you take a look at http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/clever-marketeer-certainly-but-jobs-was-no-genius-2369935.html

I don’t understand. You think the author is left-handed?

Little more to it then that, I agree Apple did get off the shelf products and find a creative way to sell them to the mass market.

let us remember many PLC’s are not run by visionaries but by caretaker management, they did not create the company like Jobs did with Apple merely manage an already large corporation and have paid advisers to assist in policy and decisions.

Scam emails are never a good idea. If you must plaster crap on the board at least bear in mind Carole, that in the UK we are not paid in dollars. Better still why not just take your rubbish and stick it where the sun don’t shine?

Could you explain precisely how any CEO deserves to be paid more than a thousand times more than the average wage of the employees who actually do the work which produce the company’s profits?

It’s very well to harp on about ‘increasing skillsets and pursuing their own career’, but the fact remains that grotesque levels of inequality cripple society generally and destroy social mobility. This is a fact which the right consistently ignores, as it doesn’t fit their self-interested, self-serving myth of ‘meritocracy’.

You only have to look at the example of Tony Blair to see that. Does he really need all those fees for speaking engagements and “advice” to dictators?. Of course he doesn’t – he is just a greedy money-grubbing hypocrite
