"Yes, the reverse privilege thing is bullshit, but it comes from a misunderstanding of exploitation. The widespread assumption is that the overpaid are responsible for the underpaidness of the underpaid. It goes along with the idea that class is about income, not power, and it protects the college-educated from the pain of discovering that we individually have little real control over the course of our lives. Guess who benefits if we feel guilt (and superiority) rather than anger (and solidarity)."
Right and well put.... And notice that complaints about people making too much money tends to focus on unionized workers, not Bill Gates or his fellow CEO's. The right to make an unlimited amount of money being god given...
