If we could do that with politicians and the crap legislation they pass every day, we'd all be better off.

NPR used data from the American Community Survey to create a graph of the 10 most popular jobs in each income bracket. Software development and IT remain common jobs among those in the higher brackets, although not the topmost one. "Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash"

Really?
Then they haven't been including IT developers who work for not-for-profit organizations into their survey(s) ...

Sampling error (but it was an NPR survey, you'd think they'd ask the IT guys  )

Look at the $58-72 bracket; that's senior developers in large non-profits. 
The study is looking at what people are most likely to do for a living in each income bracket; not the average salary for a given job title. If you choose to work in a low pay segment of your industry you just fall off the bottom of the chart without impacting where the rest of us stand.
Now if they could just export those >$100k/year salaries out of places where even $100k/year is a poverty wage. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You're the one presumably working at an organization whose success is partially measured by how little they spend on themselves, not me.

Didn't state you were somehow the source of my present environment.
Though, "an organization whose success is partially measured by how little they spend on themselves" is quite descriptive.

It's an interesting strategy. After all, why wait for someone else to start competing? If you can create the competition yourself, it really doesn't leave much room for anyone else, and yet receive all the revenue.
Of course, you can shoot yourself in the foot, but like cereal companies (that figured out years ago it's best to have multiple products competing against each other) it would be amusing if this becomes the new business model of the 21st century. I imagine there will be several books about "SCBM" - Self Competition Business Model coming to Kindle soon.
Sounds sort of kinky, doesn't it?

Yes, I'm writing two books about it right now. One is for Kindle and the other is for Kindle.

So in what circumstances is it appropriate for workers, male or female, to hold out their hand for a raise? And when is it less than advisable? "You know the night time, is the right time"

Slaves aren't allowed to ask for a raise. And if such an event does occur, steps will be implemented to ensure it never happens again.
Comments from work:- "Why can't you just do it like everybody else?"
- "Well, we haven't had any complaints yet."
- "I just want to get it into production."
- "It only matters if it’s important to someone who matters."
