So what. How is CEO pay any of your concern. It sounds like jealousy. For large companies, CEO pay is insignificant to the total company’s revenues. If the CEO make $1 that would suddenly result in money to pay more to employees. $10,000,000 salary divided among 20,000 workers and each worker gets $200 extra which is and extra $17 per month.

The his focus on CEO pay is nothing more than old-fashioned class warfare jealousy. Think how much more money workers could make if we cut payroll taxes by 20% — a lot more than if they paid the CEO $1. But those on the left complaining about CEO pay would go apoplectic just discussing tax cuts. Because the issue isn’t really about pay, it’s an ideological thing.

Aww how cute, the CEO defends paying his employees 50,000 while he makes 10,000,000. "Its just jealousy folks!"

I'm sure Louis XVI was thinking the same thing right before the public summarily removed his head from his body.
