146. No Links, No References, & a "heckuva lot" of malarky
"There are something like 20,000 publicly held companies in the US. So there are 20,000 CEO's"

"Something like" sounds like "I don't really know, and I don't know where to find supporting evidence." It sounds like you don't have any links, and you don't have any sources for your information, since you didn't provide them. (unlike I did.) If you've got a Treasury site link that proves your claims, just post it.

"Averages"? Of course I'm talking about "averages." The "average" worker's wages are declining. Which means most workers are not doing better. In fact, these averages include the wages of the top earners as well. If you excluded CEO/management salaries, these "averages" would be even lower. In fact, multiple Democratic Party office holders have sited the decline in median family income under the Bush dictatorship, not the least of them being John Kerry.

Below is a graph put out by Senate Democrats showing the decline in real wages under Bush.



Again, does it look like most people are doing better? Does it look
like there's "a heckuva lot of people" making more money?
