UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires have signed a letter calling for increased taxes on the super-rich.
Extreme wealth means extreme power - over our politics, our media, and our lives.
When even the super-rich know it's time to tax them more, will Labour finally listen?
