According to the liberals, anyone making more than another person is overpaid.
After all, we should all be paid exactly the same regardless of the work --- "it's only fair".
The exception would exist for the 'enlightened' that need to lead us --- they will make much, much more and it will never be enough for the good intentions they attempt to ram down our throats.
Unless they're part of the limo liberal crowd like the Hollywood types or that Heinz woman....
Just to tag on here while I don't put a lot of stock in head study stuff I often wonder why well paid liberals are in favor of higher taxes. Sometimes I think it's because they make so much money it has no value to them; If they pay $200k it's nothing but for a family making $50k even $2k can be a lot.
Or maybe it's because they're insecure and don't think that they have really earned it (easy for me to see since they get paid to pretend they're someone else reciting the words of others) so they don't feel like they "earned" it.
As for CEO's when I was in a management position I worked 20 hours a day, 7 days a week (one year I had a total of 18 days when I didn't go into the office) and was always stressed out over earnings and working to make sure we didn't have to lay anyone off, etc. I wasn't paid seven figures, but I felt like I earned every penny.
