(2,770 posts)that the average, middle class worker never knew that the CEO of the company he works for earns a seven-digit salary with bonuses while he and his fellow employees make a fraction of that?
Do you really think that people working for major corporations or retail chains never realized that they were working for a pittance as compared to the profits being generated by their labor - profits that wound up in the pockets of greedy upper management and stock-holders?
These disparities have been well known and oft discussed for decades.
"OWS made it clear to EVERYONE"? Really? Do you have any understanding of how irrelevant OWS is to millions of people, who have never paid any attention to anything they have to say?
EVERYONE - seriously? It's just this kind of rhetoric that makes OWS look ridiculous.
