corporate ceos have a secret they don039t want you to know aboutand that039s how much money they039re stealing from their workers and republicans are accomplices in the thievery last year - as part of the wall street reform bill passed by congressional democrats and signed by president obama - there was a provision forcing corporations to disclose just how large the pay gap is between their ceos and their average workers as in how much more money the bigwig in the corporate office makes sitting on his butt all year versus how much money the factory floor worker makes busting his butt all year the provision was included in hopes that if people knew just how gross the pay gap is between ceos and workers - then maybe there would be more pressure to shrink itas they say - sunlight is the best disinfectant and today - outrageous corporate pay is infecting our economy consider that back in the 1970s - ceos made about 30 times more than their average worker - as in what they did was 30 times more valuable to the company than what other workers did but since then - the numbers have exploded - and today - ceos make as much as 400 times their average worker and in some cases on wall street - as much as 2000 times the average worker can today039s ceos really justify that they are 2000 times more valuable to the company than their workers they can039t - and that039s why they don039t want you to know how much money they039re taking from their corporate treasure chest to pad their armani pockets and that039s why - as soon as republican took control of the house of representatives at the beginning of this year - ceos from 81 of the biggest corporations in america - including mcdonalds - general dynamics - and ibm started a massive lobbying effort to repeal the new ceo-pay disclosure requirement and when corporate ceos talk - republicans listen last week - republicans did as they were told - and repealed the ceo pay disclosure provision in a party line vote in a house committee --republicans don039t think you should know that while unemployment is hovering around 9 and average employee wages are sinking lower and lower - people like phillipe dauman made more than 84 million last year as the ceo of viacom--or that while nearly 50 million americans languish in poverty - while ray irani of occidental petroleum made 76 million last year--or that while more than 40 million americans need food stamps just to eat - while lawrence ellison of oracle made 70 million last year--republicans don039t want you to know that every 15 million dollars a ceo is paid for with a 1000 pay-cut to 15000 workers--or that every 30 million check cut to a ceo - could have instead hired 600 new workers - each making 50000 dollars a year and these are the guys that republicans call the quotjob creatorsquot in america - the guys who039d rather stash 30 million in a swiss bank account - where it will sit untouched collecting interest - rather than spend a dime employing one of the 25 million unemployed people around the nation this is nothing more than stealing these ceos aren039t job creators - they039re stealing from the people who are the actual job creators - people like you and me who buy stuff when the middle class in america has money - they buy stuff - and the more stuff they buy - then the more stuff needs to be made - and the more stuff that needs to be made - then more workers need to be hired that039s how an economy works but giving a guy who039s already worth a hundred million dollars - another hundred million dollars - won039t create one damn job - and won039t stimulate the economy at all we need to start calling out the republican party for what they are - the wholly-owned party of the rich ceos - and not the party for the other 99 of us harry truman knew this more than 60 years ago when he said quotwe have been working together for victory in a great cause victory has become a habit of our party it039s been elected four times in succession and i039m convinced it will be elected a fifth time next november the reason is that the people know that the democratic party is the people039s party and the republican party is the party of special interest and it always has been and always will bequotnothing039s changed it039s time to shed some light on the wealth inequality in america - and expose greedy corporate ceos for their blatant robbery of the american dream - and expose the republican party as their accomplices

conservatives are now calling president obama039s ads against mitt romney and bain capital attacks against capitalism so since republicans are quick to defend private equity - or pirate equity firms - like bain capital - even going so far as to argue that an attack on bain is an attack on capitalism - maybe we should take a step back and explain exactly what it is that a pirate equity firm like bain capital does - and then ask the question whether or not this is really american capitalism at its finest
