1. Bravo indeed!

That was a great opinion piece and I hope it is widely read!

That figure about CEO's relative salaries is one of the most damning bits of data, and it should be pounded on: "...in the 1960s, the average CEO made 20 times what the average worker made. Today, that CEO makes 400 times as much." Too few people know this, and it is obscene, and perfectly illustrates the class divide that has grown in the same time period.

A friend said to me 7 years ago, that to him, it looked like we were entering a new Guilded Age. I think he nailed it.
