CEO pay rose 27% in 2010. Still, they need tax cuts?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110401/ts_yblog_thelookout/overall-ceo-pay-rose-27-in-2010-while-pay-of-average-workers-rose-2

Just a week after the report that bonuses for CEOs jumped 30 percent last year comes another startling statistic that illustrates the ever-increasing gap between rich and poor in America: overall CEO compensation increased by 27 percent in 2010, while the pay of the average worker grew only 2 percent, according to a USA Today analysis of data from GovernanceMetrics International.


Another DUer pointed out already that inflation was 2.6% in 2010

1. They don't need them, but they want them and their duly elected puppets can't

2. What they need are brief rides in tumbrels.
Straight to the guillotine.
