It's the same reason our government costs so much to operate.

Last week, for the first time, unionized public employees outnumbered the private sector.
The "cute" wears off quick, even as it points out greed isn't proprietary.

The "mere trickle" seems to be doing pretty well, as in more like Trickle Down - Hemorrhage Up. Think you're right, the CEO salary Millions isn't much compared to the Trillions that just flushed their way. But it's just the tip of the iceberg. Stocks, hidden from view, do the most damage. Just like a casino, the money is never lost; somebody else wins (won) it.

Entitlements? For the guys that do all the work and create all the wealth? I'm shocked and appalled. Who do they think they are??

Not much has changed in the last 5000 years, but there is always hope.
