500 Fortune 500 CEO's making an AVERAGE of $13.5M....
  so divide $6.75B = the TOTAL comp paid to those 500 CEO's
  by 27M = the TOTAL number of people employed by those 500 companies

Now tell me what number your "math" gives you. 

Man you get testy. You are correct on the math. Which is why two seconds after I hit post, I went back and edited it. I misread your post, thinking you were comparing one CEO salary to that of 24 million employees. 

I'm not sure who you mean by "you guys" but, personally, my issue with CEO salary isn't so much what the workers in the company make. It's the tax issue. Namely, companies that pay out millions to CEOs and upper management, but don't pay taxes the same way as smaller businesses.
