No, no, alanabit, we're not bitter and angry at them at all. The target is our whole society for the misconceived value-system.

Of course there is unlikely that there's goibg to be much connection between the value to us all of the job, and the pay (tho' some of us say,'Well, why on earth not?').

One trouble tho' is that it's people who are rich who are a group whose opinions are valued !!!! (when you've perhaps already established the lack of connection between worth and pay.

Another trouble is that loads of people (not just The Beckhams) being paid ridiculous amounts actually, if you think harf about it, has inevitable, anmd often painful consequences for the rest of us.

e.g. the prices at the top rise, which pulls up the prices at the next level, which pulls up the etc. etc. etc. , all the way down.

is there really nothing wrong with some having 3, 4, 5 houses, 10, 15, 30, 100 million, both with the world being in the state it's in?

The rich are NOT isolated from the rest of us; their situation affects EVERYBODY.
