I saw somewhere that some 40% of Americans live under the $34,00 (on the family of four scale). That's astounding considering the fact that so many families have more than one person out in the workforce.
It really brings home the obscenity of the worst executive salaries.
Explain to me why executive salaries are anybody's concern besides the shareholders of the companies by whom the executives are employed.
BTW, how come nobody complained a few years back when Barbra Streisand got $20 million for a one night performance. How come nobody talked about the gap between what she made that night and what the guy who swept up the ailes after everybody went home got?
