People start acting weird when they find out you make good money, and they think you are rich and can now afford to pay for them and for other things.

It's taboo to people outside of business culture too. Next time, ask your home teacher how much $ he makes

Actually, they are entitled per the law. But culturally we don't discuss it.

What law exactly entitles employees to know what other employees are paid?

Unless you mean what HuskerCoug says below, entitled to talk?

Not saying a business has to disclose, only that an employer cannot prohibit his employees

What law do I use to find out my boss' salary, without getting fired?

If they are public employees then most states have transparency/open records

Employees are actually entitled to be able to talk about it by law

On the other extreme end, it could also be a good thing we don't know.

Just about every bit of power is held by companies rather than employees

So.... start your own business, then you have the power.

Exactly

What does starting your own business have to do with being white?

If you take a salary you're not comfortable with then you need to try and change

Keep in mind federal law allows you to discuss salary.
