    Reader's Viewpoint: Good jobs weren't good until unions made them good - By Randy Feemster, New Philadelphia Times Reporter, OH
    Let’s set the record straight on this issue. The No. 1 problem in this country today is that corporate America has captured political America.

    The average CEO in this country makes $10 million a year. On the high end, Lee Raymond, the outgoing CEO of ExxonMobil, made $144,000 a day.

    The average worker in one of his Exxon stations was making $12,000 a year, while Mr. Raymond made $18,000 an hour.
