Robert Reich said it perfectly.....

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I say EAT/TAX THE RICH.

The sleight of hand the GOP has pulled is pretending trade is the reason for all of the problems of the middle class when this is the actual problem, th rich took all of the gains free trade has given the counrty for themselves.
