The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. Thatโs a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. Thatโs $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
