I look forward to the NY Times follow up article

On the economic difficulties of the very rich.

The final figures show that the median pay for top executives at 200 big companies last year was $10.8 million. That works out to a 23 percent gain from 2009. The earlier study had put the median pay at a none-too-shabby $9.6 million, up 12 percent


Oh dear, and how can these poor sufferers be expected to pay slightly more in taxes when their workers are getting all greedy in comparison?

The average American worker was taking home $752 a week in late 2010, up a mere 0.5 percent from a year earlier. After inflation, workers were actually making less.


Yeah, but what about the average worker's corporate jet tax breaks, huh? Huh?!!!

Hey, this is America! The average worker is entitled to just as many corporate jet tax breaks as any rich guy!

Ghee Whiz, I'd Love to just get as much as the "average worker".
I am an Auto Electronic Teck with 25 years experience at it and I make 200 bucks a week less than the 'average joe/jill'.
And I Don't Even have a Prop Plane much less a Jet!
