That is an amazing statement to have been made by someone who works at a job that pays $400,000 a year and somehow he and his wife made $5.5 million in the first year of his presidency.
These facts are noted in an editorial piece posted at Investors.com yesterday.
The article wisely concludes:
"If the president is eager to regulate salaries, he might begin -- and end -- with the federal work force. Commerce Department data show that average federal worker compensation of $119,982 in 2008 was twice that of average private-sector pay ($59,909).
"If he can't bring himself to spread federal workers' wealth around, he and the rest of Washington need to stay away from everyone else's income."
When did we elect a President to tell us how much any of us should earn? What does the President see as his 'enough' amount?
