again...how much a person is compensated monetary is depending entirely on the board, investors, etc...
i am a middle-class person myself but the last thing i want is for the rich's head on a stake and make them poorer. Rather, i want the poorer to find ways to be richer.
Is it unfair? Of course it is...but the faster we can accept this, the faster we can move on and make things better for ourselves instead of cry foul and hoping macro-level powers can make things better for you. Nothing is 'fair', it never was, it never is and it never will be.
Oh of course nothing is fair, and for my age I'm probably better off than people, but just because something isn't fair that doesn't mean we can't at least want things to be fairer, even if the means to make that happen are unclear
People can't really make things better for themselves because most people need to dedicate 60% of all their waking hours to working for someone else. Sure they can engage with the system and work their way up or start their own business, but that only helps them, it doesn't do shit for the other 99% of people stuck giving up all their time so they can afford basic services
Well, how much more than anyone else do you think someone such earn to run such a huge company? And more importantly, how would you ensure that he/she keeps doing that rather difficult job with the set salary if there is no option for him to earn more.
I don't have all the answers, and even if I did, it's not really up to me
A system where those in power pay people to generate more than they're paid so the excess can be handed off to others isn't really going to benefit the majority though, more so as time goes on and the rich horde more and more
Maybe it's the best economic model we have, maybe it's not
The main problem is those with wealth naturally invest in politics and the media, because that allows them to dictate policy and dialogue, and you'll never get people with huge sums of money promoting anything that would hurt them, and anything that would address wealth inequality would clearly hurt them
In the UK all of our press is owned and controlled by 5 billionaires, and all of them help fund the best funded political party in the UK, who happen to be in power, and all learn right and would aggressively attack and ridicule anything to the left of their own views
