Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown

This video should be on a continuous loop on television sets all across America:


But there's more:

  • CEO pay is up 937% since 1978.  The rest of us?  10.2%.  How pathetic is that?
  • Also in 1978, the ratio of CEO pay to worker pay was 30-1.  Today?  300-1.  Anyone really think CEOs are ten times better than their workers over the last 36 years?
  • If you're a minimum wage worker, CEO pay is 774-1.  That's like Earth to Pluto.
All of which probably helps to explain why there aren't many American workers whistling while they work anymore...unless it's to marvel at how sharp the guillotine is.

Peace,
