America's top bosses enjoyed pay hikes of between 27 and 40% last year

and people still have the nerve to ask what it is that has people in the occupy movement so upset...

via alternet...

America's top bosses enjoyed pay hikes of between 27 and 40% last year, according to the largest survey of US CEO pay. The dramatic bounceback comes as the latest government figures show wages for the majority of Americans are failing to keep up with inflation.

America's highest paid executive took home more than $145.2m, and as stock prices recovered across the board, the median value of bosses' profits on stock options rose 70% in 2010, from $950,400 to $1.3m.

when i think about how little it takes me to get by especially in comparison to these grossly overpaid toads, i see red... i've worked with some of these senior guys and i can tell you, their vastly over-inflated opinion of themselves is the only thing that compares in size to their vastly over-inflated compensation...
