If I own stock in a publicly traded company, Mr. president, they answer to me, not you! If I agree with the CEO pay, that’s all that matters. If the other employees in the company don’t like what they are paid, they can step up or find work elsewhere on their own. If it is a profitable, well run company, it will keep good people and make them happy on their own, because that is how a free market works.
Exactly and perfectly explained.
