Walmart now starts employees at over $10 per hour in all US markets. The “median” income used in this article includes part-time employees - intentionally shifting that “median” downward (and no - the average Walmart Employee is not getting rich).
The reality is there are a lot of big business owners who have serious liberal leanings, while a great many workers are much more moderate or conservative.
The people who harp most about disparities are the same ones working for tech info monopolies where the disparities are WORST.
Google...?
Facebook..?
They should apply for the CEO position next time.

The starting premise is wrong:
Neither the government nor a company owes you a job.
If the shareholders are not happy with the board overpaying executives then they should vote in a new board. If the shareholders are somehow being illegally fleeced and they complain to the authorities then there is reason for the government to look into it. Other than that it is nobody else’s business.
And it woudl likely take 10000 years for those employees to be able to duplicate what their CEO did
Unless you ask the commie who just won a primary in New York. Great job, New Yawkers - you’re going to send a know-nothing anarchist to Congress.
Breaking News: The rich get richer & the poor get poorer.
I'd rather get home in time for dinner.
If they took all the money the CEO was paid and distributed it evenly among the employees, the employees wouldn’t be much better off.
“These stark illustrations of income inequality.”
I always thought my CEOs salaries were unequal to mine. Hell, I even had paid consultants on my staff that earned more than I did (in IT that is not uncommon). Too bad I was born too soon to participate in the Marxist/Utopian future where all pay will be “equal”. /sarc

Fake across the board!
The US economy is climbing asymptotically, and there is booty for all who are willing to go for it.
