Unhappy How Much Is "Enough?"

I stopped in at my local Safeway and it is Unionized & there contract is up for renewal with about a 95% yes strike vote under thier belt.
The clerk and I were discussing the rising costs of Gas (up 120% in the past 3-4 years, food costs up an average of 25% last couple of weeks).

While I am in no ways a full blown socialist, I ask this question-

"How much is enough?"

The clerk made a statement that stuck in my mind when she said that, "it used to be companies were content to make millions, now it is billions! It never seems to be "Enough!"

So I ask you,


"How much is 'Enough??"

Re: How Much Is "Enough?"

Through all the economic issues there are a few very rich that are getting even richer and it will be the middle class that finances their wealth. It's called Greed.

It will be enough when clerks at Safeway quit and go to work somewhere else. If you continue to accept what they offer how can you complain about what they offer?

While I am in disfavor of Income Taxes in general, if we do have them, have it set at a flat rate across the board say 30%.

That way everyone pays thier fair share.

I don't see how it would, the rich have loop holes, the poor don't.
Unless I am missing something.
