American executive pay is 475 times the factory floor worker's pay

Venezuela, the closest is 50 times the factory floor worker's pay. Britain is 22 times, Canada 20 times, France 15 times, and Germany 12 times.

Hmmm.... Don't certain segments of our society tend to flog the Europeans and Canada for their "socialized" health care? Could it be that they have healthcare because their CEOs are paid less, more reasonable salaries? I don't think their corporations function any worse than ours do. Maybe its time for stockholders to force our CEOs to take pay and benefit cuts.
