The CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest companies was 344-to-1 last year.
In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1.
This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable.
They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.
@rbreich Yes.
And this is the issue that could unite far more than half of American voters. Thus it has been disastrous to allow the right to change elections into culture wars over the least unifying details of subgroups' demands.
Trump and social media together simply press blue America's buttons, send everyone screaming about the latest insult. And thus forget the economic justice even much of the MAGA wing believes in.
