Much of that is greed.  A CEO making $1million a year found that by
offshoring they can increase profits and pay him $10million a year.

  I blame the "Dodd-Frank Act" for a whole lot of this. Way to go, Congress!
Just like the "Inflation Reduction Act", it sounded good, and was
anything but. Again, way to go, Congress!
Both were very damaging examples of government overreach.
Congress should not be allowed to conglomerate many disparate wants into
one bill of needs. They should vote on every damned one of them, one at
a time. That way, they'd all earn their taxpayer money.
 

Congress would work well if they were government employees.  Their real income and being is derived from lobbyists. For $250 million you can buy a President.
