Finally

The disparity between CEO compensation and middle-class salaries is beginning to be noticed. During the last 15 years, CEO compensation has hit as much as 525 times the average American worker. Does a CEO put in 525 times the work of an auto worker? Or even 200 times? Is any CEO really worth that? I agree with the notion that this is a moral issue...and an obvious injustice.

I think the emergence of the netroots and raised ire of common passionate citizens over our pathetic political debacle in Iraq has facilitated these issued being brought more to the forefront and I hope the exposure continues.

Also, I loved the gun-control debate and the "facts are a bitch" comment!
