Payday

From the recent issue of Rolling Stone:

According to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, the hourly wage of the average American non-supervisory worker is actually lower, adjusted for inflation, than it was in 1970. Meanwhile, CEO pay has soared - from less than thirty times the average wage to almost 300 times the typical worker's pay.


I don't think anyone begrudes the top men from making more than their average workers, but 300 times more? Especially when these same guys are the ones that don't want to raise mininum wage or pay their employees any type of health benefits.

And the average worker gets blamed for how much everything cost's. No one pays attention or cares about how much the execs make. Go figure.
