You are claiming that they are making 10x as much as a Denny's worker, before their benefits? They make $28 an hour before benefits (about 3 or 4x a Denny's waitress after tips). Including benefits they are making $41 an hour. That is still no where near your crazy ass 10x number, especially considering that you can hardly claim their pensions are worth the full $7 as there is a significant chance these companies will go bankrupt and they won't ever see it. If the market could sell employees an annuity in exchange (assuming the bankrupcy risk for itself), it would probably only offer a few cents on the dollar.
