Quote:So I think we agree with the general sentiment that CEOs could definitely earn less, but we disagree on what should be done about it. You likely believe the government should step in and cap salaries. I believe it's none of the government's business, and instead we should focus on changing social values, organizing boycots, and if the government is to be involved at all, it should be to pass sweeping legislation to end corporatism and stop businesses trying to create laws that favour them and try to squash their competition.
I believe the government should step in and cap salaries because that is one of the things I, as a voter, want from the people I've elected.
"Changing social values" is a vague solution that, even if successful, will take too long. In America, we've tried the passive approach for the last 35 years and the result is that things are worse than ever.
