Outsourcing CEOs give themselves a raise. Average CEO compensation at the 50 companies outsourcing the most service jobs rose by 46 percent [!] in 2003 from a year earlier. (FindLaw)

On the other hand:

There were 35.8 million [American] people living in poverty last year, or 12.5 percent of the population. That was 1.3 million more than in 2002.

Children made up more than half the increase - about 800,000. The child poverty rate rose from 16.7 percent in 2002 to 17.6 percent.

More people lacked health insurance as well - about 45 million last year, or 15.6 percent, compared with 43.5 million, or 15.2 percent the previous year.

...during the years Bush has been in office, 5.2 million people have lost health insurance and 4.3 million have fallen into poverty.

If the average raise for an outsourcing CEO was 46 percent, it makes you wonder what the real extremists got away with.

Here's a slogan for the Kerry campaign: America deserves a raise!
