Brutal truth, plainly spoken

From Senator Jim Webb's rebuttal to Dubya's State of the Union blather tonight:

When one looks at the health of our economy, it's almost as if we are living in two different countries. Some say that things have never been better. The stock market is at an all-time high, and so are corporate profits. But these benefits are not being fairly shared. When I graduated from college, the average corporate CEO made 20 times what the average worker did; today, it's nearly 400 times. In other words, it takes the average worker more than a year to make the money that his or her boss makes in one day. [emphasis added]

Bingo. That says it all.
