So you're saying that someone goes into a place of business, fills out a piece of paper we'll call an application, then begs for a job, gets hired, then immediately should be given a raise?  No one gets paid for what they're worth.  They only get paid what the company thinks that they're worth.  If they were more of a value to the company, they'd get paid more.  Check your facts.  Revenues to the govt went through the roof.  All your causal repetition and cognitive dissonance won't revise history.  And dig it....Obamas ARE the wealthy....now.
