That alternet article had some good points on the overall issue, but what person A is responsible in a 377 person company and what person B is responsible for are pretty different. If the point is that it is wrong to feel sympathy for anyone who has ever done better than oneself financially, that kinda seems like spitting on the American dream, given that this particular AIG guy claims to have pulled himself up by his bootstraps and nobody seems to be disputing his backstory.
