What's happened?
Sorry, but I've never considered these guys as the epitome of anything but greed. Just like sports figures, and sports managers and so many other useless leeches. It's a rare case indeed where a manager, especially one who has never worked in a factory, or in construction, or done anything but juggle numbers in a book, earns anywhere close to what they get. How many times have we seen when management drives workers to improve production, work more hours and then, when things get a little slow, they lay off the people who are actually making the money while putting themselves up for large bonuses?

No, the heroes of capitalism are the small business owners who are out in the shop every day, working alongside their employees, and making sure that those employees get a share of the credit.
