Why Are You Poor?

In 1980 the average CEO made $10 for every $1 earned by the average worker.

In 2006 the average CEO makes $430 for every $1 earned by the average worker.

In case anybody needed a reminder as to which heads needed to be put on spikes, they are pictured here. Topping the list are the health care industry, gas companies, and the tech sector.

In unrelated news, I worked some overtime this weekend to pay for some needed bike parts. I'll probably do the same next weekend. My wife is still holding down her full-time job while struggling to pay for her full-time college courses. My dad is working two full-time jobs to keep on top of payments for the farm. But I wouldn't dare suggest class warfare.
