So do you really "need" a new truck? There are people out there walking to work. Do you really "need" a bigger house? A boat?
You see, there are a lot of things that we as ordinary pilots don't really need, just like CEOs don't "need" $1.1 million in compensation. We are arguing about degrees. Who do you think should be the arbiter of what a person "needs?"
Um... that's Karl Marx. Are you really advocating Communism? In defense of management? With an Abraham Lincoln avatar? I'm so confused.
I like this one better:
"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." - Abraham Lincoln
