New CD from Jim Hightower and Today's Commentary

Jim Hightower's new CD: The People Are Revolting! (in the very best sense of the word)
Out this March from Alternative Tentacles

"Don't mess with Texas!" Isn't just Dubya's catchphrase-you better not mess with Jim Hightower, America's #1 Populist and proud Texan! The acclaimed radio commentator and author of If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote, They Would Have Given Us Candidates has been "battling the Powers That Be on behalf of the Powers That Ought to Be" for decades and now he¹s out with his very own full-length CD from Alternative Tentacles.

From the commentary section:

So here's my plan: Let's import CEOs! We can get them a whole lot cheaper from abroad – and get good ones, too. Did you know that the top bosses of major corporations in Europe, Japan, Latin America and elsewhere are delighted to do CEO work for only a million or two a year.

American corporate bosses now are hauling away about 500 times the pay of a typical worker in their corporations – not exactly a plus for company morale. But the ethic in other countries is much more fair – bosses in Mexico, for example, are paid only 45 times what the typical worker makes, in England it's 25 times, and Japan it's 10 times.
