I have know idea about what you're looking for, though I'm sure I could find something. I was talking to a lefty the other day. He said he heard that with all the CEO's exorbitant pay, if spread out, it would raise everybody elses pay to $22-$23 an hour.

When I got home I did a search. I started with Walmart.

According to Wikipedia: Walmarts CEO makes $35 million.
Walmart has 2.1 million employees.

Doing the math, thats about $17 per person.

According to Forbes, the top 500 CEO's made $4.5 billion.

Just for arguments sake, divide the top 500 CEO's pay, not by TOTAL employees of all 500 companies, but by JUST Walmarts employees.

$4.5 Billion ÷ 2.1 Million = $2 142.86

In other words, just over $1 an hour.

Never trust a liberals "facts"
