You wanna talk about obscenity...?

i've got your obscenity right here...
Chief executive officers in the United States earned 262 times the pay of an average worker in 2005, the second-highest level in the 40 years for which there is data, a nonprofit think-tank said on Wednesday.

In fact, a CEO earned more in one workday than an average worker earned in 52 weeks, said the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.

The typical worker's compensation averaged just under $42,000 for the year, while the average CEO brought home almost $11 million, EPI said.

there's an incontrovertible and little-discussed fact that should never be overlooked... it is the front-line employees in any organization who do the ACTUAL WORK of that organization... whether we're talking about private sector or public sector, for profit or nonprofit, the products or services of the organization issue directly from the efforts of those actually making the product or performing the service... everything else is there to support their effort... unfortunately, our priorities are so incredibly screwed up, we lose sight of that very simple and fundamental reality...
