and one of the things that is mostly unreported and not commented on is the "largess" in corporate CEO salaries.

At one point in this country, the difference between the lowest paid corporate employee salary and that of the CEO was perhaps 15-25%.

Now the difference between what the lowest paid corporate employee makes and the CEO is 300-1000%.

Now, CEO's have a lot of responsibility, and many may work very hard. Good for them! But, are we really saying that they work 300-1000% more than their employees?

Something is pretty darn screwed up there. Like that line from the movie Wall Street...."How many yachts do you need to ski behind?"
