Does the CEO nowadays produce 100 times more value than in the past?

Why not just be honest and say you love slavery?

Other people must be forced to work and pay for your expenses.

By the way, you don’t care about the poor, you just hate the rich.

This has been covered so many times and sadly, you know it has.

The 1% already made it impossible for most Americans to live on mínimum wage. What I don’t understand is the old foggies still supporting the GOP economy when so many now working at Walmart or mcDs to survive. I’m from Miami and not uncommon to hear some elderly are eating dog food. I guess they just believe the lies until they die. Smart ones just move out of the country. Expat migration is massive. Yep - vote for wall but have your beach house in Puerto Vallarta.
You don’t want to raise wages, or reduce prices, and complain about so many wanting to go to an affordable college. Apt/ home rental have a minimum of how many can sleep per room, and don’t want welfare food stamps or birth control. What do you all want? Really ? Only let the rich and well educated live in the USA? I believe some think that would be ideal - so what’s your plan?

But you dont have any arguments. You're just parroting libertarian slogans which is just mindless calls for going back to medieval feudal times. Whats so great about neo-feudalism specifically?

CEO pay is based on what the board says


less than 5% of the workforce makes min wage or within $2 of min wage




at 16 (my first job) was making MORE than min wage working at a white castle.....


by 18 I had my sights on a CAREER...... min wage JOBS are not a CAREER, nor are they meant to raise a family on


you want to make a living or a GOOD wage... you educate yourself... you self improve, you find a CAREER you love that can raise a family




afford a spouse, child and mortgage??? then you need a CAREER, not a minwage (UNSKILLED) JOB

Do you have any argument except for advocating slavery?

How much a CEO should be compensated is up to his or her employers or shareholders. It’s not up to you or me.

If they are willing to pay the CEO more than his worth, who cares?
