It has nothing to do with how "good" they are, but rather how much leverage they have. CEO-to-worker pay ratio has skyrocketed since the 1960s. Its not because CEOs have become 50 times better/smarter/more hardworking than the typical worker. With sports stars and artists, its all about marketing. Does the best paid artist today have 100 times better voice than the best voice 50 years ago? You know its all about marketing.
Regardless what the reason is, it’s none of your damn business how much they are paid.
IMO Medicare for all should be funded with a national sales tax of .25%. That way everyone will pay into it depending on how much money they spend. Food should be exempt.
Not a Dem or Repub but I do believe we should have Medicare for all or some sort of Universal healthcare plan because it would help small businesses and even larger corporations (those rich folks you care so much about lol) to save some money and be able to put those funds into other more important aspects of their business.
Most Americans don't realize how much of a burden healthcare/insurance costs are to employers. I do feel that burden should be passed to the government and the government can/should outsource it to private sector insurance companies to manage in order to minimize job losses in that sector.

Government = taxpayers or rather the 55% of those who pay federal income taxes.

It would have to be 25%, like European countries, not 0.25% which would not raise enough revenue. And I agree. Everyone pays.
A $300 000 salary cap is just as silly as arguing that CEOs and sports stars are 50 times smarter/better today than 50 years ago. Please try to be open to a middle ground here and not go from one extreme to the other.
Rich people threatening to leave is just a paper tiger. Lets find the guts to call out their bluff and not act like meek mice. Hardly anyone really leaves and the US government already makes it difficult as it is.

Some estimates for annual increased costs for Medicare for all, is $3 trillion a year. Do you think that sales tax will cover that?
I feel this way. The billionaires and millionaires should be taxed more because they will still be rich even if they are taxed more. You cannot honestly tell me that a fast food worker or a low paid worker should be taxed as much as a billionaire. I have nothing against rich people, but even if you tax a billionaire fifty percent they will still be filthy rich. If you tax a low paid worker or a fast food worker fifty percent, he will have nothing to live on. That's the difference.

Thanks. You got common sense.
