Are you sure he wasn't counting how many "corporations are people too" that are dependent on gov't via tax breaks and lobbyists bending laws in their favor?
Seems to me that the more people we have sucking on the gov't teet the more corporate tax cuts and loopholes they have to do away with...fuck those corporations and the executives making way more than any 20 blue collar employees combined. Are those executives working 24/7, have no soul and only exist for the company? Likely, and they probably neglect their families and think money will win their love, while the blue collar workers work 9-5, plus any overtime and then go home to mow their yards and fix their run down house, then play with the kids before bedtime.
Not saying all of either side is that way, but my point is our country would be far better off with a wage equalization act. If the NFL and NBA can have Salary Caps and Floors why can't our nation as a whole? We the People need to demand a Collective Bargaining Strategy with the corporations.
