These are the real numbers and

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , the average income for the American Worker in the year of 2014 was approximately $850 a week...with a household medium of just over fifty thousand dollars a year.  The average per worker is deceptive.  An average utility worker earns more than $35 dollars an hour....while the common retailer is somewhere around $17 an hour.  That's quite the descrepancy.  Either way, the common household brings in the neighborhood of $52,000 (with a $64,000 household FAMILY medium).  Ironically, that average across the board was $5,000 higher back in 2007.  The 2013 real per capita is around $28,000.  One Word:
Boo fucken You Who!
And me Too!!!
What kind of wealth distribution is this???
Considering where the true money goes....
Funny how things get affected by greedy corporate types and the politicians that they own,
With
All
THAT
Said
...
The Average 2014 Compensation for CEO's at S&P 500 companies was:
$13,500,00.00
(According to AFL-CIO calculations)
People....friends...commoners...neighbors...
That's 373 times MORE than the average worker.
That's you and I....plus another three hundred and seventy other folk!
As an aside, in 2013 Walmart had an average ratio of 537 to 1 in pay between CEO to worker.
Overall, these numbers due sway in one direction or another from year to year...but, in the big scheme of things...
And
From afar....it all looks the same.
Yeah,
Ok
Like that's not even pretend fair.
But, who said life is fair?
I didn't.
But, I don't think that We The People should stand for this this disparity in wealth.
When there is this small population of have all...and the rest of us who look and dream of such comfort.
