Proof - FairTax is NEEDED

Use Google Alert - "Executive Pay" - to get ALL of the latest.

According to a new report CEOs “collected as much money from one day on the job as average workers made over the entire year.” Authored by the the Institute for Policy Studies and United for a Fair Economy the report “Executive Excess 2007, The Staggering Social Cost of U.S. Business Leadership,” shows that
CEOs at the biggest U.S. companies averaged $10.8 million in pay and associated compensation, including stock options, based on data from 386 of the Fortune 500 companies. That figure for CEO salaries equates to more than 364 times the pay of the average American worker with the average American worker salary coming in at $30,000.


*** With a FairTax - when that $10.8 million is spent THEY WILL PAY A TAX.

Furthermore, through tax dodging, creative accounting, and simply benefiting from favorable tax policies, CEO’s are also able to keep more of of their salary in their pockets.

This Labor Day, U.S. workers can celebrate the first raise in minimum wage in ten years, bringing it up from $5.15 per hour to $5.85, but that rate in real value is still seven percent below the value of the minimum wage in 1996.
============
Payouts of five million to hundreds of millions annually will be construed as a disbursement of corporate capital.

Henceforth these deductions from a company's capital account must be subject to a public vote and agreed to per amounts by boards, directors, trustees and not so trust-ees as the case may be.

Why would anyone buy stock in a company?

Why would anyone buy stock in a Company
that they don't know HOW MUCH TO CEO, and board members are paid?

And, WHY ISN'T THAT MADE PUBLIC?
