Another Liberal Myth Exploded

[PoliticalChic]

1. Liberal elites and their hand-wringing simpleton paracletes have been moaning about 'income inequality' in an attempt to convince those who function via envy and jealousy that they are VICTIMS!

The playbook never changes.

2. And as proof, they point to CEO salaries...and whine about how unfair the disparity is when compared to the 'average worker.'

"Report: CEOs Earn 331 Times As Much As Average Workers, 774 Times As Much As Minimum Wage Earners. With CEO compensation analysis season in full swing, the AFL-CIO released data this morning stating that American CEOs in 2013 earned an average of $11.7 million–an eye-popping 331 times the average worker's$35,293.Apr 15, 2014"
Report: CEOs Earn 331 Times As Much As Average ...
www.forbes.com/.../report-ceos-earn-331-times-as-much-as-average-...

a. Reading further, the report should give one pause:
"...the AFL-CIO released data this morning stating blah blah blah....."





3. "....this frequently cited AFL-CIO analysis of CEO pay is an example of “statistical bait-and-switch.” Or call it a “statistical canard” or a “statistical fallacy.” Here’s why:

The AFL-CIO is comparing: a) the average salary of a small sample (350) of the highest paid US CEOs, out of a total CEO population in 2013 of 248,760 CEOs, according to BLS data here, and b) the average worker pay for production and nonsupervisory workers, which represents only 8.5 million factory workers out of a total of 136.3 million payroll employees nationwide.

a. "...the AFL-CIO’s reported “CEO-to-worker pay ratio” of 331:1 is calculated by ignoring 99.9% of all US CEOs and 93.8% of all US workers.

b....more accurate description would be to call it a ratio of the pay for 350 of the highest-paid US CEOs to the pay of only 6.2% of the American labor force, or a ratio of an unrepresentative, infinitesimally small, and statistically insignificant group of CEOs to a small minority and unrepresentative group of US factory workers. It’s a completely bogus and meaningless comparison.



4. ....a more statistically valid comparison of CEO pay to average worker in the US pay by considering: a) theaverage annual pay of all US CEOs in every year from 2002 to 2013 (data here) and b) theaverage annual pay of all US workers in a comprehensive, national BLS dataset that includes workers in 22 major occupational groups, 94 minor occupational groups, 458 broad occupations, and 821 detailed occupations (132.6 million workers for 2013). Based on those data, the average CEO earned $178,400 last year, the average worker earned $46,440, and the “CEO-to-worker pay ratio” was 3.84:1,


5. ...the real CEO-to-worker pay ratio has not been increasing as is frequently reported, but instead has been remarkably constant over the last 12 years, averaging 3.8:1 in a tight range between a maximum of 3.89:1 in 2004 and a minimum of 3.69:1 in both 2005 and 2006.


6. In 2013, a full-time minimum wage worker earned $14,500, and therefore the CEO-to-minimum-wage-worker pay ratio was only 12.3:1 compared to the grossly inflated 774:1 ratio reported by the AFL-CIO."
When we consider all US CEOs and all US workers the CEO-to-worker pay ratio falls from 331 1 to below 4 1



Liberal and 'Liar" both begin with "L."
Coincidence?
Hardly.




So sorry that the above post involved numbers, facts, and logic.....

....which, of course, removes said content from the interests of Liberals, Progressives, and Democrats.

The data was released as part of AFL-CIO PayWatch 2014, which focuses on summary compensation and highlights worker narratives from five companies– including Wal-Mart, Darden RestaurantsDRI +0.59%, and T-Mobile– known for low worker wages and high executive compensation.

“People who earn minimum wage, for instance, can’t afford cell phones from T-Mobile or dinner at Red Lobster or the Olive Garden, both of which are owned by Darden Restaurants,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka in a statement from the organization.

“America’s CEOs—as exemplified by the individuals of these companies—are cannibalizing their own consumer base.”

All posted and linked in the link. One reason why I must repeat myself again, we must begin to save Capitalism from the Greed of the Capitalists. Of course our resident Narcissist and the OC Disordered author of the OP will consider any effort to reign in the Capitalists is Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Communism, Fascism and Statism at work.

Nonetheless, the economic trend is moving toward more concentrated wealth in the hands of fewer individuals and companies. Until that is turned around, there is a problem to be solved.

if my Countrymen should ever wish for the Honour of having among them a Gentry enormously wealthy, let them sell their Farms and pay rack'd Rents; the Scale of the Landlords will rise as that of the Tenants is depress'd who will soon become poor, tattered, dirty, and abject in Spirit. ...the Effect of this kind of Civil Society seems only to be, the depressing Multitudes below the Savage State that a few may be rais'd above it"
-- Benjamin Franklin; letter to Joshua Babcock (Jan. 13. 1772)

WHAT problem?
You are doing something that NOT ONE of the wealthiest men in the world in the 1915 could do! NOT ONE wealthy person could do what you do daily!
A) use the Internet.
B) SEE/TALK with anyone in the world anywhere.
Both of which the poorest person can do in the USA what the wealthiest person in 1915 never even imagined!

Tell me what is the problem?

And your point is?

Obviously being a LIP point goes WAY over your f..king head! For most of us even the POOR we have capabilities the "wealthy" in the past NEVER had!
Only ignorant LIPs like you want to go back to the way we were at the turn of the 20th century when average person had a life span of less then 48 years!
But of course ignorant people like you are being kept alive in spite of your ignorance!

...or they'll turn out to be like you!!!

Obviously Trumka never heard of these programs!!!

a) Free Cell phone (my cell phone I PAY is about $100/month)
if the poor person receives just one of the below FREE entitlements:
* Food stamps * Medicaid * Section 8 * Supplemental Security Income * National School Lunch Program

b) 40 million Americans on food stamps get $200/month in free food.

it cost $75.7 billion in 2011 compared to $35 billion in 2008; and enrollment has hit an all-time high of 46.7 million recipients.
Meanwhile, the number of children receiving free school lunches has inflated from 18 to 21 million — an unprecedented jump —
about 2.1 million households (6 million) use Section 8 the Housing Choice Voucher program, pays a large
c) portion of the rents and utilities of or the Housing Choice Voucher Program up to $1,000 /month in FREE housing...
So these people get:
=== $ 5,666 in Earned Income Credit i.e. a check from Uncle Sam instead of paying they get a check!!!
=== $12,000 free housing , Section 8 will pay up to $1,000/month
=== $ 2,400 free food,
=== $ 1,200 in free cell phone plus
=== $ 5,000 a year in free health care from Medicaid.
So this is about $26,000 a year in FREE MONEY, free goods and free services...

Let's put the flashlight on you, PC.

• Every thread you've posted is an assassination of someone or something
• Anyone who critiques your threads is attacked as stupid
• You equate Communism with totalitarianism
• You call despts communists
• you comport Nazism as Socialism, and Socialism a Communism

And now some speculation:

• You've had several failed relationships
• You never married, and live alone
• You have short term friendships which burn out quickly
• You were once a liberal, and had a SO who was also a liberal
• He or She dumped you, and now you want to punish all liberals to pay him/her back.

Obviously Trumka never heard of these programs!!!

a) Free Cell phone (my cell phone I PAY is about $100/month)
if the poor person receives just one of the below FREE entitlements:
* Food stamps * Medicaid * Section 8 * Supplemental Security Income * National School Lunch Program

b) 40 million Americans on food stamps get $200/month in free food.

it cost $75.7 billion in 2011 compared to $35 billion in 2008; and enrollment has hit an all-time high of 46.7 million recipients.
Meanwhile, the number of children receiving free school lunches has inflated from 18 to 21 million — an unprecedented jump —
about 2.1 million households (6 million) use Section 8 the Housing Choice Voucher program, pays a large
c) portion of the rents and utilities of or the Housing Choice Voucher Program up to $1,000 /month in FREE housing...
So these people get:
=== $ 5,666 in Earned Income Credit i.e. a check from Uncle Sam instead of paying they get a check!!!
=== $12,000 free housing , Section 8 will pay up to $1,000/month
=== $ 2,400 free food,
=== $ 1,200 in free cell phone plus
=== $ 5,000 a year in free health care from Medicaid.
So this is about $26,000 a year in FREE MONEY, free goods and free services...

Gee, I bet you have a Final Solution for all these 'freeloaders'.

Nonetheless, the economic trend is moving toward more concentrated wealth in the hands of fewer individuals and companies. Until that is turned around, there is a problem to be solved.

WHAT problem?
You are doing something that NOT ONE of the wealthiest men in the world in the 1915 could do! NOT ONE wealthy person could do what you do daily!
A) use the Internet.
B) SEE/TALK with anyone in the world anywhere.
Both of which the poorest person can do in the USA what the wealthiest person in 1915 never even imagined!

Tell me what is the problem?

And your point is?

Obviously being a LIP point goes WAY over your f..king head! For most of us even the POOR we have capabilities the "wealthy" in the past NEVER had!
Only ignorant LIPs like you want to go back to the way we were at the turn of the 20th century when average person had a life span of less then 48 years!
But of course ignorant people like you are being kept alive in spite of your ignorance!

Nice flame, but what does that have to do with exploitation and corruption?

Easy for you to make accusations... so what "exploitation" and "corruption" are you describing? Have any facts that support that ALL CEOs are exploiting and ALL CEOs are corrupt? Where are your facts OR as LIPs like you are wont to do... YOU take EXCEPTIONS... one offs,, anecdotal stories and make it sound like
ALL CEOs are exploitive and corrupt ALL the time!
Which is the pattern of LIPs. ALL LIPs exaggerate and blow so out of proportion. Just Obama exaggerated 45 million uninsured... NEVER were!
When 10 million were not legal citizens...14 million were eligible for Medicaid but Obama's ineptness couldn't get them enrolled BEFORE ACA and finally the ignorance to count 18 million people that NEVER wanted or needed health insurance! Thus exaggerating and blowing out of proportion JUST to destroy 1,400 companies!
Never were 46 million uninsured but less then 4 million!

1. Liberal elites and their hand-wringing simpleton paracletes have been moaning about 'income inequality' in an attempt to convince those who function via envy and jealousy that they are VICTIMS!

The playbook never changes.

2. And as proof, they point to CEO salaries...and whine about how unfair the disparity is when compared to the 'average worker.'

"Report: CEOs Earn 331 Times As Much As Average Workers, 774 Times As Much As Minimum Wage Earners. With CEO compensation analysis season in full swing, the AFL-CIO released data this morning stating that American CEOs in 2013 earned an average of $11.7 million–an eye-popping 331 times the average worker's$35,293.Apr 15, 2014"
Report: CEOs Earn 331 Times As Much As Average ...
www.forbes.com/.../report-ceos-earn-331-times-as-much-as-average-...

a. Reading further, the report should give one pause:
"...the AFL-CIO released data this morning stating blah blah blah....."





3. "....this frequently cited AFL-CIO analysis of CEO pay is an example of “statistical bait-and-switch.” Or call it a “statistical canard” or a “statistical fallacy.” Here’s why:

The AFL-CIO is comparing: a) the average salary of a small sample (350) of the highest paid US CEOs, out of a total CEO population in 2013 of 248,760 CEOs, according to BLS data here, and b) the average worker pay for production and nonsupervisory workers, which represents only 8.5 million factory workers out of a total of 136.3 million payroll employees nationwide.

a. "...the AFL-CIO’s reported “CEO-to-worker pay ratio” of 331:1 is calculated by ignoring 99.9% of all US CEOs and 93.8% of all US workers.

b....more accurate description would be to call it a ratio of the pay for 350 of the highest-paid US CEOs to the pay of only 6.2% of the American labor force, or a ratio of an unrepresentative, infinitesimally small, and statistically insignificant group of CEOs to a small minority and unrepresentative group of US factory workers. It’s a completely bogus and meaningless comparison.



4. ....a more statistically valid comparison of CEO pay to average worker in the US pay by considering: a) theaverage annual pay of all US CEOs in every year from 2002 to 2013 (data here) and b) theaverage annual pay of all US workers in a comprehensive, national BLS dataset that includes workers in 22 major occupational groups, 94 minor occupational groups, 458 broad occupations, and 821 detailed occupations (132.6 million workers for 2013). Based on those data, the average CEO earned $178,400 last year, the average worker earned $46,440, and the “CEO-to-worker pay ratio” was 3.84:1,


5. ...the real CEO-to-worker pay ratio has not been increasing as is frequently reported, but instead has been remarkably constant over the last 12 years, averaging 3.8:1 in a tight range between a maximum of 3.89:1 in 2004 and a minimum of 3.69:1 in both 2005 and 2006.


6. In 2013, a full-time minimum wage worker earned $14,500, and therefore the CEO-to-minimum-wage-worker pay ratio was only 12.3:1 compared to the grossly inflated 774:1 ratio reported by the AFL-CIO."
When we consider all US CEOs and all US workers the CEO-to-worker pay ratio falls from 331 1 to below 4 1



Liberal and 'Liar" both begin with "L."

So sorry that the above post involved numbers, facts, and logic.....

....which, of course, removes said content from the interests of Liberals, Progressives, and Democrats.

The data was released as part of AFL-CIO PayWatch 2014, which focuses on summary compensation and highlights worker narratives from five companies– including Wal-Mart, Darden RestaurantsDRI +0.59%, and T-Mobile– known for low worker wages and high executive compensation.

“People who earn minimum wage, for instance, can’t afford cell phones from T-Mobile or dinner at Red Lobster or the Olive Garden, both of which are owned by Darden Restaurants,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka in a statement from the organization.

“America’s CEOs—as exemplified by the individuals of these companies—are cannibalizing their own consumer base.”

All posted and linked in the link. One reason why I must repeat myself again, we must begin to save Capitalism from the Greed of the Capitalists. Of course our resident Narcissist and the OC Disordered author of the OP will consider any effort to reign in the Capitalists is Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, Communism, Fascism and Statism at work.

Pretty sure the answer is no.

His compensation is between him, the board, and stock holders its none of your business so shut it. And like many liberals you LIE by omission. I see you failed to mention this is compensation dating back for several years of his prior work, for taking the company to a $6 billion dollar valuation for stockholders, he's the founder of the company, and this compensation which is almost entirely stock is to be paid out over several years. You dishonestly left out those parts didn't you.

Then you should find ALL CEOs doing BAD THINGS ALL THE TIME RIGHT?
EVERY CEO in existence is the bad guy doing bad things ALL the time right???
Should be able to pick up CEOs all over the place! They should ALL be put in jail right???

Nope. Sure sounds like the 350 are getting paid grossly high salaries however. And as was going on with Jobs many are probably working to hold down employees wages illegally. Are you ok with what those tech companies were doing?

"grossly high salaries"! Wrong... the problem with LIPs like you is you never READ closer to the REST of the story!
Total 400,400 CEOs.. of which 77% or 308,308 make less then $500,000!
Less then 8,000 make over $3 million.
Again exaggerations... blow out of proportion!

FACTS!!! Please why is it SO hard to deal with the FACTS??

How many of those ceos are just self employed people with no employees? Anyone can start a company and be a ceo.

And again how many people are employed by the 350?
