Control != Own

So Larry, what is your definition of "Control" that can boost the number
from 33.4% to 90%?

A friend of mine who is a Statistics instructor regularly dismantles
figures such as these. The US economic system is too complex to say
offhand "this percentage owns this percentage"; it depends on how you
derive your data and how it is organized. By and large, though,
corporations are run by people like Carly Fiorina and folks who get paid
hundreds of millions of dollars

Paid that much by whom?

despite destroying companies and costing hundreds or thousands of jobs,

And that's why our economy is outstripping ever other country in the world,
including China (10% grwoth from nothing is still not much), India (same)...

Further, that's somewhat the same logic that one minority criminal is
indicitive off all that same group.

and the average working-class Joe Commercial Pilot, cop, truck driver,
support technician, electrician, assembly line operator...the people who
ACTUALLY MAKE THE CORPORATION RUN...make a pittance of what these people
award themselves as hiring or firing bonuses.

How much responsibility does the truck driver have (a $50K rig) versus the
responsibility that a CEO does (a 50-200 $$BILLION corporation).

I'll agree there are quite a few overpaid/incompetent exec's, just like
there are far more overpaid entertainers and athletes.

Maybe if you made more of a career and less of whining and barfing back
media drivel, you might be doing "really well".
