While 25 million unemployed and underemployed U.S. workers are drowning, CEO pay skyrocketed by 23 percent, for an average salary of $11.4 million in 2010, according to the AFL-CIO Executive PayWatch. Released today, data compiled at PayWatch also show CEOs have done little to create badly-needed jobs, instead sitting on a record $1.93 trillion in cash on their balance sheets.

Found that online, and just thought to myself, it's not wrong that CEO's made that much money. honestly it's commendable, But what is wrong, is that they continue to drive up the prices of everything! they know there quest for Maximum Profit, is hurting the pockets of millions of american's who are already, are Overtaxed, Over charged, and Underpaid.

i just wanna say, Look Mr. CEO, all i want outta live is to be free, to chose my own path, make my own decisions, and strive to be succesfull like yourself. But in your stride to success, you've not only won the 100, 200, 300, 400, and 800, meter dash, but also the hurdles, shot put, discus, and long jump.

While the rest of american's, maybe not all, but at least 20MILLION, cant make a paycheck last a week. 20 MILLION who cant keep pace with the rising cost of EVERYTHING. again, just in case you didn't hear me, that's 25,000,000. not $ but people.

I'm glad you made the cash you made, but at the same time, did you ever think of the economical consequences? did you ever think about the people who cant make that house payment and have to move out of a home they've live in for over 20, 30 or even 40 years? How do you continue let your accounts grow, to insurmountable numbers, while there are people who cant afford gas. cant afford food? and then they lose their home? How do you sleep at night knowing that the decision's you've made, for your own finical benefits, have sent a MAJORITY, THE MAJORITY of people in america, into a depression unlike any other.
