American CEO pay has risen by 1,322% since 1978. The wages of the typical worker rose by 18% in that same time period. Meanwhile inflation went up THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT PERCENT since 1978. Translation: the rich have been getting enormously richer, and working people are now trying to live on effectively one quarter of what we used to make. We're being squeezed to the point of bankruptcy or starvation. A future for our children is just a hopeless dream, now. But keep telling us that a 46% pay raise for the people who actually MAKE the cars is "unreasonable".
