Rich Man, Poor Man
The rich are getting richer – the poor are getting poorer. A new study by the New York Times reveals that some of the wealthiest CEOs in America saw their paychecks grow twice as fast as workers in 2011. The median pay for America's 200 highest paid CEOs jumped up 5% to $14.5 million. Meanwhile, worker pay rose by just a mere 2.8%. Now – Fortune 500 CEOs make 380 times more than their average workers and have seen their pay increase 127 times faster than their workers since Reagan moved into the White House. Despite all of this – Republicans are pushing bankster Mitt Romney for President – a multimillionaire who's pledging to give even bigger tax cuts to his rich friends on Wall Street – while shoving austerity down the throats of the rest of us. With billionaires running our elections, America is already looking like a banana republic – but if bankster Romney wins – the transformation will be complete.

This is the absolute truth yet so many of you want him elected. Be careful what you wish for you just might get it.
Vote for any group but democrat or republican. Better to vote for the evils you don't know and take a chance.
In case you missed it, this is happening under The One's watch.
So they got a 5% raise instead of 2.8%. Big deal.
WHERE is that goof who keeps saying things like "the system is working" and "if you're not doing anything wrong, then you don't have to worry about your rights"?
The Times should be thrilled....we keep taxing the rich at a higher and higher rate so they should be happy, more money for the gov't and us tp spend on what is surely to be an expensive, upcoming Obama Family Vacation.....coupled with a few $10,000/plate fundraisers attended by some of those very same rich CEO's.
Stop blaming others and pitching class envy and warfare. Your fate is your own hands today and when you head to the voting booth.
