@rbreich when I was a child I asked my father "why are big bosses paid so much".
He told me they work a lot and have lots of responsibility.
Okay.
I'd be happy to "work" by playing golf and eating in expensive restaurants, while getting 45 millions for not taking any responsibility and putting air passengers at risk.
"We are, all of us, engaged every day in the construction of a moral order: by our accumulated individual examples, the words we use, the acts we condone, we can make it one that encourages decency and compassion towards others, or the reverse. This is particularly true of those in positions of leadership, political or other."
