A very contentious issue arising within public domain is that of compensation and its repercussions on overall society. Over the past 3 decades executive compensation has ballooned while the average worker continues to see only modest gains in income. The average annual earnings of the top 1 percent of wage earners grew 156 percent from 1979 to 2007; for the top 0.1 percent they grew 362 percent (Mishel, Bivens, Gould, and Shierholz 2012). In contrast, earners in the 90th to 95th percentiles had wage growth of 34 percent, less than a tenth as much as those in the top 0.1 percent tier. Workers in the bottom 90 percent had the weakest wage growth, at 17 percent from 1979 to 2007. If inflation averaged just 2% a year over this period, the gains of the bottom 90% would be negative. In 2007, average annual incomes of the top 1 percent of households were 42 times greater than in¬comes of the bottom 90 percent, and incomes of the top 0.1 percent were 220 times greater. This is an increase of 1400% and 4700% respectively since 1979.

This study examines the key factors influencing the 2012 election in order to determine how Obama was able to secure reelection. By examining demographic data, campaign infrastructure, and the candidates themselves, one is able to see how Obama was able to turn natural advantages into substantial games. Ultimately, Mitt Romney lost because he only bothered to appeal to white voters, he lacked the necessary infrastructure, and his frequent reversals and lies made him an easy target for the press.
