When I graduated from college, the average corporate CEO made 20 times what the average worker did; today, it’s nearly 400 times.

This is one of very, very few points on which I agree with the Democrats. Corruption in corporate management runs rampant, wherein families' lives can be destroyed by a simple decision that will have no long-term impact on profits but will help some executive achieve his quarterly bonus.

That said, I'm not of a mind that government is the answer to this very real problem - clearly the conclusion Webb would like us to draw.

Maybe he wants to extrapolate that to Hollywood where stars who earn millions per picture could share their wealth with extras who earn $100 per day, or at least with a key grip.

And most of them aren't even running multi-billion dollar companies or responsible for many thousands of jobs and investors.
