Related: About this forumPapantonio: CEO Pay Going Up, Up, and Away
For the first time in world history, the 10 highest paid CEOs in the US all received more than $100 million a year in direct compensation, and two of them took home billion dollar paychecks.
That is after Americans went through all that public drama and soul-searching where they were holding public media events and shareholder meetings asking those ridiculous rhetorical questions, like, is the system broken? Should management really be making 400 to 500 dollars for every one dollar an hour that a worker makes? As double digit increases every year for top management takes place, dramatic decreases in compensation benefits for Americas workers continue.
Ring of Fires Mike Papantonio guest hosts The Big Picture on RT America and joins author Les Leopold to discuss sweatshop capitalism in America, and how the big CEOs of this country are reaping the benefits of hardworking Americans with no end in sight for their rising salaries.
