Dems picked a good issue that GOP needs to watch carefully.

Both of them picked the Federal Reserve to print up money and give to them to spend. As long as that continues, there will be no economic recovery and there will be gross widening of the "income" gap as the Fed and the politicians prefer handing money to the already wealthy in the lame hope that they will invest and create jobs. Instead there is more speculation and more inequality.

Years ago I read that in the 1950’s the average CEO made 25 times the average pay of the average line worker. Course this was when we actually made things, not like now when moving paper around seems to be the main source of income.

I am interested in finding out if the ratio I remember was accurate and what the ratio is at this time. 300 times, 1000 times, what is your guess and where would such numbers be kept, if they are at all? I really don’t care what the magic number is because there will always be income inequality. Jesus said the poor will always be with you. That tells me the whole debate is phony.
