Also, workers outnumber CEO's probably hundreds of thousands to one. In other words, CEO's are a very small minority compared to workers. As usual, you can cherrypick and manipulate any stat to make a point.

I am very skeptical of the integrity and authenticity of your graphic.

It's all inflation adjusted figures, not nominal

We are not the richest country in the world. We are #19 in GDP per capita which is the only way to compare wealth of different sized countries.

Okay then. Please explain why Forbes ranks the following countries as the most "business friendly":

1. United Kingdom
2. Sweden
3. Hong Kong
4. Netherlands
6. Canada
7. Denmark
15. Norway
17. United States

Looks to me like Democratic Socialism is good for the people and for business. A win-win, wouldn't you say?
