100 CEO's retirement funds equals that of 41% of American families.

A report issued last week by the Center for Effective Government and the Institute for Policy Studies details the disparity in CEO and worker pension treatment. Titled “A Tale of Two Retirements,” it notes that the 100 largest CEO retirement funds are worth a combined $4.9 billion. That equals the entire old-age savings of 41 percent of all American families.

He can start the conversation, but nothing else.

Eventually if you outlaw gerrymandering, then his beginnings will pay off.
