CEOs work harder every hour than their wage slaves do every season.

CEO's obviously aren't the enemy, but I think CEO's pay is a vital part in making an argument. CEO's are obviously in the position they are in for a reason, and yes they deserve to get paid. But most corporations don't seem to care much for a majority of their employees. I don't think cutting a CEO's pay is the answer, but if you can give a CEO a multi million dollar raise, then you can obviously afford giving out raises to other employees.

Very true. CEO's aren't the real cause of the problem.
The real cause is that the companies fail to recognize that if a company makes profit, workers are also entitled to get a portion of that profit.
In my view, a worker that works knowing that his work is appreciated by his boss is a lot better than one that feels more and more like a serf with each passing payday.
