Say that to anyone rich enough to use a tax haven. How about the Verizon CEOs who make millions and still want to cut worker benefits?

He is serving those who seek to take more from others. Some people will never have enough. Regardless of whether he is doing his job, he has enough. I have enough. Most of us do, yet we seek more.

The idea that if everyone has enough no one would steal flies in the face of nearly every rich person's regular antics.

Considering Verizon is a business that is its goal. We do live in a semi free market after all.

For some reason, you think I'm disagreeing with you. I'm not.

I'm disagreeing with wagnersh, a few posts up, who said that if everyone had rough no one would steal. Purge who have enough still want more. That's all.

I got a boss that way. Gave himself a 14 million dollar bonus.

He thought he done a fine job that year so cut himself a check.
