Probably not, but as a classist, I felt that it was my obligation.

WHYY, the PBS TV station in Philly, announces they would lay off 17 people to make up $1.2 million of their budget shortfall. The CEO, who gets $740 k this year, was asked if cutting executive salaries was considered to save some of the 17 jobs. He said no, it was not considered.

Not even considered? Fuck you very much, you'll never see another dime of my money.

1,200,000/17 = $70,588yr - Thats a pretty damn good wage!

Yes, but just like you will express your opinion, I will also express mine.
