I can't say that news showing that 25 U. S. corporations paid more to their CEOs than they did in taxes is surprising in the least, and while I appreciate it getting the space and outrage it deserved on so many of the sites I read, space and outrage aren't going to end it or put any kind of a dent in it. And I can guarantee you won't see any complaints from any traditional media outlets.
What to do? It will be interesting to see what the UAW does in its current contract talks with Ford, as Bob King has mentioned on several occasions that the rank and file are not happy with the $26.5 million bonus Ford CEO Alan Mulally got after the Ford workers granted concessions too numerous to mention to help keep the company afloat--and that they want their share. The members have authorized a strike, and I hope they keep that threat front and center--one has to doubt that Ford is going to want a strike as their fortunes continue to improve.
As for the rest of us wage slaves...stealth drops in productivity.
Can't hurt.
Peace,
