Steve Witless or is it Steve Wynn-Less? (even more greed)

Steve Wynn of Wynn Resorts recently cut salaries and hours accross the board for all employees of his empire. The savings to the company was between $75-100 million dollars. Wynn's share of a recent dividend payout: $86 million. What is there in the personality of someone who thinks that this is right? In my psychodrama studies there is a term called a role reversal. This is the process of putting yourself in the shoes of the other. The idea is to see what commonalities you have with the other; to develope a sense of empathy and thus reduce conflicts. The lack of the ability to role reverse is a serious matter-meaning no or little empathy.In the worst case scenario the inability to role reverse in a major trait of the sociopath..no empathy-no remorse for the effects one's actions on others. This is also greed and a disturbing sense of entitlement...something Mr.Wynn has much of.,along with his $2.3 billion wealth.
