I was watching C-Span this morning and Laura Flanders of Working Assets Radio was on...

She covered lots of topics, but the one that hit home to me most was the subject of corporate executive compensation.

Did you know that in the past 20 years, executive salaries have increased from 42:1 to 281:1 (in other words, 281 times the average workers salary now)?

To me, this is disgusting!!

And what's worse is that companies that have taken their companies offshore or laid off the most workers are enjoying 231% increase in executive compensation (Carly Fiorina of HP, I'm looking in your direction...you laid off 25,000 workers, but you're rich, so who cares?)
