What is it you do?

The sun is just about up. Kadizzle got up early, 5:30.  In our basement two men reside.  They are millwrights. Millwrights repair the turbines that make your electricity.  They got up at six and headed out to the power plant where Kadizzle used to work.   They will not be home until six.  Someone has to do the work. Who knows what they get paid, but Kadizzle knows the CEO gets 350 times more.  Now Kadizzle knows what millwrights do he used to work at the power plant, but what in the hell does a CEO do that makes him worth 350 times more?  Does the CEO wear dirty clothes?  Does he shit in a porta john?  Does he pack his lunch? Does he drive from New York to North Dakota to sleep in my basement and leave his family?

We live in sad society where we disrespect working people.  Working people are what builds the highways, the skyscrapers, and the cars, yet they are treated like disposable slaves.  The rich fight giving them health care.  The rich fight a minimum wage.  Imagine that a CEO making 350 times what a millwright gets and refusing to pay someone a decent minimum wage.  A CEO gets fired he walks away with 20 million.  A millwright gets fired he walks away with his lunch bucket.  We worship scoundrels.  The guy who runs Coke makes millions,  the rats who run Blue Cross get millions, but the guy who really does the work can retire broke, who cares.  Are the CEO's really such brilliant people?  The data does not show it.  So many of their companies produce no better return than if you put your money in a sock.  In almost every state the highest paid government person is the football coach at the University.   What if the game is canceled how will that affect your life?   Now try getting up and starting your day with no electricity.  That electricity is there because a whole lot of working people got up and made it happen.  They dug the ditches, mined the coal, and turned the bolts.  The CEO does not work night shift, does not get dirty, and has no respect for the people who really work.  His job is to pay them the least he can, and deprive them of every possible benefit before he ships their job to China.
