Quite frankly what you folks *should* complain about are the high

anyone in a years' time be worth millions of dollars is beyond me.
[Figure there's 2,000 working hours at best in a year, for a CEO to
earn millions a year.] But it's easier to bitch about a hard
working plumber who not only has a shop to support but a family as
well.

A plumber who charges twice as much for the job as other plumbers is either
delivering something exceptional that nobody who has looked at this case has
been able to detect, or he ripped-off someone he figured wouldn't know any
better. Which do you think is more likely?
