As defined by whom?  And just what is the "acceptable" gap between the
"rich" and "poor"?

Could it have anything to do with the fact that just anyone can push a
broom but not everyone can be a CEO?  Your arguement is identical to all
the whimpering that goes on about those spoiled overpaid athletes while
our poor teachers don't make much.  Lots of people can be teachers.  A
teacher is replaced very easily.  Juan Gonzalez isn't.

Let me guess....any definition of "too much money" you can dream up
is basically "more than Tom G makes."  Ask Bill Cosby how much money
he thinks is "too much."  I bet you get a different answer....probably
something along the lines of "more than Bill Cosby makes."
