A self hlep guru once explained how the seemingly unfair system allowing the lowest paid maintenance man to make some small amount relative the highest paid CEO and CFO on the top floor of the skyscraper.
He said the amount of value to the company varies with each level of employment. Keeping the place clean by housekeepers and the HVAC and door hinges and electrical system working has value. But choosing the products to market or the advertising to buy may make or break a fortune, so the work by the people in charge is of higher monetary value.
Socialists just expect all the risk of capital and choices made by the CEOs to be paid at the same rate as the housekeepers get paid. Otherwise “unfair”.
Right!
I always invest in large companies that hire the “bargain” CEOs.
