Just like members of a chorus who get a salary, or members of a band who also get a salary, we get a salary. HOWEVER, as has been documented quite often, the salaries differ by maybe as much as 100% whereas the productivity may differ by a few thousand percent. Anyone know of implemented resolutions of this apparent socialism? egb
