In response to Haley’s post.

Outsourcing and the difference between the cost of the product and the wages of employees is not the only point that can be made. In 1960, the average chief executive earned 40 times as much as the average worker. By 1990, the average CEO earned 107 times as much. In the following decade, this ratio rose to 525:1 before settling back to 301:1 in 2003. Chief executives play an important role in the success of their business, but without the employees in the trenches there would be no company.

Should this pay gap be smaller?
