“Is it perhaps barbaric that the ratio of the salary of the CEO to the worker can be 300 to 400 times as much as the average worker, plus bonuses, investments, et cetera? And to increase that, you indulge in outsourcing and move jobs overseas to lower markets. Where does it end? Is that greed not approaching barbarism? There are two kinds of barbaric behavior. One is obviously the kind yielded by the people on the top. Attila the Hun, he and his henchmen yielded a certain kind of power, just as Hitler did. They yielded a certain kind of barbaric power over their people. On the other hand, the people at the bottom, the masses of the people, might worry also about barbaric behavior that they indulge in. Certainly in America every individual who is born in this Nation has a right to vote and should worry about the fact that we allow our government and our leadership to get out of control and reach the point where they are doing barbaric things and contemplating barbaric policies.”
