   This will have a huge impact on those who affiliate or can relate to this problem, but those (like the CEO) most likely wouldn't pay this any attention. Considering that many more people make significantly less than CEO's this will have an overall large impact. The simplicity of the format is very appealing, as are the colors of USA flag. I also believe a piece like this has potential to spread some serious awareness about this serious issue.

   A clear and resounding example of what is wrong with wages. At 40 hours per week, the international worker would need to work for over a year (58 weeks) to make that $580. That is $10/ week. And we wonder why severe poverty is so rampant.

   This is extremely interesting, because we see these kind of posts pop up on social media all the time. it's usually people who are human rights activists, or people who beleive minimum wage should be increased, or even people attacking the taxing system we have in America as well as regulations and laws areound the "rich". What I find weird is they didn't keep the numbers consistent with the middle minimum wage, but chose to compair the overseas worker to the middle and then the middle and the top to the overseas. Also, like OP stated, where do these numbers come from? For all I know, someone put this together using their imagination.

   In addition to where do the numbers come from... where are the jobs being outsourced, what is $.25 (are they really only getting paid $.25?) in U.S. dollars to them, and what is the real purpose of the categories. It is clear that it is trying to show an unfair distribution of wealth, but it misleads the viewer.

   It's just explaining that people don't get paid as much as some people and it's wrong to underpay people

   This is an image of our former president, Barack Obama. This is a good message because it is showing he has hope in America

   This is a great use of simplifying important ideas into a comprehensive graphic! However, a lack of sources is troubling - images are spread far more virally than follow-ups, so it should be a priority to at least put a URL somewhere on it.
