Wow. What are his investments in that he makes that income. Is that from the Heinz fortune with his wife?
yeah - There are so many ways in which one can see the paradox of overproduction in daily life. The U.S. has so many more labor-saving machines right now compared to the 1930s, and so you would think that people would all be working fewer hours and have so much more. But despite our much much greater work efficiency, and despite most women entering the work force, the reverse is occurring-- people can barely afford housing and health care and food and the basics of the 1950s lifestyle on two incomes at 40+ hours/week of work, and things which society could afford like state subsidized college is now too expensive, and we can't afford to take care of the elderly. And so the question is, where are the fruits of all the increased economic production going, and the answer is that it is siphoned off into bank accounts of people in the investor class.
The stock market *needs* there to be big pools of really poor people in mississippi, indian reservations, Baltimore, prisons etc. so that the next highest class, the recent immigrant workers, and the Walmart employees and overseas factory labor, are forced to work so cheaply because they are scared that they could fall into the lower category. The profits made from this end up in the stock market.
