【答案解析】The public pounding of CEOs for their high pay package is amply justified because: 1. Any tally of CEO pay suggests jarring disproportion. All the top 20 CEOs receive yearly pay exceeding $10 million. The CEOs who deserve massive payouts for their unique contribution to a company's success or whose pay is properly restrained are only "minorities". 2. From 1995 to 2005, median CEO payments rose 151% , while in the same period, the median sales of these companies increase 51%, and the median pay increase for full-time, year-round workers was only 32%. 3. From 1995 to 2005, CEOs' pay rose five times faster than the typical worker's. In 1995, median CEO pay was 94 times median worker pay; by 2005, it was 179 times as much.
