If we start limiting what someone can make, it will trickle down and whatever any of you are making now will go down as well.....we can do without socialism...
Whatever any of you are making is probably much more than the clerk at Wal-Mart or the janitor in my building....
So, you should cut your pay to be in line with those who make less than you....
It's all relative....why not get a better education or work for a multinational company, and move up the ladder a be a wonderful manager?
Nobody has talked about having the government limiting what an executive can make. The question is whether cronyism in upper management is diverting returns that should rightly be going to elsewhere into executive compensation packages.
Many people are FAR more well-educated than that chap. And, wonderful managers seldom MAKE IT TO THE TOP! Arrrgh!!! We are all entitled to our opinions. The poster who indicated that this is cronyism pretty well nailed it. This has nothing to do with rightful earnings for services rendered, education or other worthy reasons -- this can NOT be justified on the basis of those arguments. I'm telling you and everyone else and you can read and understand or reject (you have that right): If much more of this occurs, we're going to see major sociopolitical turmoil result. Now, right that down and see if it does or doesn't come true.
