As I recall the exorbitant salaries for CEOs was a response to the heavy tax burden (%90) the gummint inflicted on them. To get a million a year to take home one had to surrender the “gummint tithe”, hence a salary of twenty million. So comparing a CEO gross annual earnings to a $25,000 per year janitor really is being quite dishonest but then dishonest is what libtards do best.

heavy tax burden

Something that usually happens w/ the income inequality scam is the left-wing thieves use 'before-tax' salary levels to justify their income redistribution taxes.  That's a method they can use over and over w/o ever having to say that the problem is 'solved'.

This is one area where dems don’t want to divide people into small oppressed groups. In 30 years there’s been little change in compensation between

* the rich and middle class
* the rich and poor
* the rich and single mothers
* the rich and high school dropouts
* the rich and union workers
* ...

But, if you group everyone together there’s been a change. Some of the groups at the low end of wages have grown considerably and brought the average of all “non-rich” down. It wouldn’t be right to point out that certain life decisions are the cause of an increased wage gap and focus on solutions that may actually improve things for the poor. Better to just demonize the rich and get votes from the growing groups of poor and increasing dependency on the government.
