CEOs EARN every penny
The average American worker is lazy and overpaid.
I guess those that ask "you want fries with that" should earn twice what CEO's earn.
It is the fucking CEOs that make them say that
Progressives should move to countries where this disparity does not even exist.
Please.

CEOs earn 354 times more than average worker - Apr. 15, 2013
The discrepancy in pay between CEOs and the average worker has skyrocketed over the years, peaking in 2000, when the gap was 525 times. In 1980, CEO pay was 42 times that of the average worker.
"They struggle every day to make ends meet, their wages are stagnant, their companies are trying to take away their health care and pensions, and they're angry," Trumka said. "And very few them know what's happening with CEO (pay)."

Republicans scream, "But they should keep their money. They EARNED it!" Republicans feel that if we just cut their taxes, they will "create jobs". The rest of us are shocked. Surely, no one could be so stupid. Or can they?
Oh God. Here we go again. rdean unzipped his pants and found himself lacking. Again.
There isn't a business in the country that running it is 354 times harder than what the average worker does.Run the business.
If you're ever lucky enough to work in the private sector, it will become instantly obvious
What does a CEO do that's 354 times better than the average worker?Your title says it all
CEOs EARN 354 times more than average worker
If they earn it then it's their money.
Run the business.

The galling part is that workers have been told how tough the economy is, how they must make sacrifices, work harder, take fewer benefits.........sacrifice for the team
Meanwhile, CEOs of companies that are losing money get huge compensation increases
What the GOP used to stand for...
"Labor is the United States. The men and women, who with their minds, their hearts and hands, create the wealth that is shared in this countrythey are America."
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
And the moral of the story is: Go to business school and get the MBA so you can be the CEO instead of dropping out of high school so you can be the janitor.
Yeah, right, everybody with an MBA gets to be a CEO of a major corporation. Their family and background has absolutely nothing to do with it.....
That is just really paranoid thinking. What 'family background' did Bill Gates have? Or Steve Jobs? Or Mary Kay Ash? What about JB Hunt? Or Joe Kennedy for that matter. None of them had 'family background.'
I learned that people are worth what someone is willing to pay them.
If a CEO is offered a contract and signs it He/She should be paid what was agreed upon.
If a ballplayer doesn't produce as expected does he give back that money at the end of the year.
If a movie star's movie tanks at the box office do they give back that money.
People are paid what the market will bear....If the corporation doesn't like the job the CEO is doing
they get fired.

HP's ousted Apotheker to take home $25 million - Sep. 22, 2011
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Hewlett-Packard's CEO revolving door is costing the company a fortune.
On the job as chief executive for not even 11 months, Leo Apotheker will leave HP (HPQ, Fortune 500) a wealthy man: He has already taken home most of his $1.2 million annual salary, a $4 million signing bonus, and an additional $4.6 million awarded for relocation assistance and to offset payments that he forfeited from his previous employer, SAP.
Apotheker was ousted on Thursday, but he'll collect more money on his way out the door. The former CEO will take home $7.2 million in cash as severance, plus $18 million more in stock.
I can't remember the guys name but he ran the NY Stock Exchange.
He was there for quite a few years if I remember correctly.
When he left his compensation package was huge and people freaked out.
That was the deal that was in place.
What was supposed to happen.The day he gets paid off was he supposed to go to the nearest bank and deposit $5,000.00 in everyone's account.

If that's what their compensation package was agreed to then that's what they should get.That's between the two parties.
I can't understand this thinking that people doing a 9 to 5 job doing whatever should be paid the same as someone running a multimillion dollar company.
Guess you have no reason to be critical of the economy.Lots of the excessive CEO salary is going into that offshore pool of $30trillion+ instead of into the US economy.
It's their money. They can do whatever they want with it.
