CEOs work harder every hour than their wage slaves do every season.

[Ryantology]

It has to be true, because the idea of income inequality is just class warfare tactics by lazy socialist liberals who want to steal hard-earned money from job creators.

[EgoRaptor]

I am for class warfare!

[Foxaèr]

If by working harder, one means that the CEO is attempting to perfect his golf swing at the country club, then I would agree.

Well, in a country where there is no sense of cohesion between the classes, can you really blame them?
In their own view, they too have worked hard to get to the position of being a CEO, and I'm fairly certain that they are more qualified in many areas than most of the people here, me included.
You people simply fail to understand the underlying cause of everything you complain about all the time. Individualism, self-interest. This is what drives modern society today. This is the cause of social ills, not the CEO's. They are merely products. You too, are not different. The only difference between you and those CEO's is that you lack the ambition of those people.

I think that in the current system based on self-interest and excessive competition, I'd say they do deserve every penny that they get.
No one offered them their position in a silver plate.

Depends on what you mean by "deserve". Did they do a large enough amount of work as a CEO to merit such a large amount? Probably not. Do they deserve to keep it? Yes.

CEO's get paid large amounts; it's the way things are, mainly because there are precious few CEOs, and even fewer good CEOs. Running a large corporation isn't a job that just anyone could do; most of us (myself included) would fail if we tried it.

The good news though, is that you can directly influence the amount of money a CEO gets paid. Just stop buying products / services from their company, and get enough people to do the same.

Well..

What makes them deserve it? The working classes have the might to take it all back. They are the ones who created all the wealth. Why shouldn't they?

Since you don't believe in religion, why don't you go on to murder a few CEO's?
