Yes, he did. What not asked what to do about it, if anything. Good interview.

He’s right about CEO pay—and boards filled with pals.

I wish he’d come out more strongly against single payer, though he is advocating a free market healthcare solution.

Trump triangulating, without trying to.

This is all part of his campaign strategy.

He’s found another, more subtle way of taking a shot at Fiorina.

I think Trump is getting close to the problem. It’s not the rich guy that own 5 care dealerships and makes a couple million a year. It’s not the person that runs a 100 million dollar company that makes generators.

The problem is the uber elite. These are the people that are tax exempt because they can live anywhere and shield their income via trusts and non-profits. These are the people that work with governments to kill of the competition. These are the Satanist freaks that really do get into blood sacrifice, pedophilia and trans-humanism. These are the people that have deceived the public into attacking the productive top 1% income earners as a way of diverting attention from them.

Bill Gates, Soros, Warren Buffet, the top echelon running big governments, central banks and large multinational corporations. These people ARE the enemies of humanity.

Trump takes some unorthodox views that set him apart from traditional Republicans, railing against free trade deals and the notion of cutting Medicare and Social Security. He once supported a single-payer healthcare system.

When Romney did this, Freepers called him a Democrat.

Saying “Rising CEO pay is a complete joke” - fine
Demanding CEOs rising pay be curbed by force of guilt or government - not fine.

Trump apparently nailed one of the worst abuses of a fiduciary position in contemporary American business. While it is not something for Government to deal with directly; as a shareholder, I would urge him to use the "Bully Pulpit," to keep the focus on the problem, which flows from the fact that no one is really bargaining with Management on behalf of the Shareholders.

Management bargains with Labor, over Labor wages,, but no one really bargains with Management over Management pay packages. The Board of Directors simply cite "peer" situations, based upon other Managements, basically, "managing" the same over-reach in their own Corporations.

The huge rewards achieved by entrepreneurs, by contrast, actually reflect true market evaluations--although often involving a great complex of factors. So this attack is certainly not on the latter, who really do create great wealth.

The ones browbeating those that criticize astronomical CEO pay are usually the same ones criticizing raising the minimum wage. Ironic.

Here is the actual interview:
http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/913-carson-trump-axelrod/

The question posed Trump was (I am paraphrasing), CEOs pay is about 350 times the average worker, do you think that is fair?

I am paraphrasing Trump's response, the CEOs are on each others board and vote each others pay raises. It's a joke.
