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

What do you mean 'we'? You are free to pay a CEO of your company anything you please

Quote:And, yet, many of those CEO's still get paid obscenely large amounts even when they run their company into the ground. The executives that ran the banks into the ground, necessitating the bail outs from 2008? They still got pretty hefty wages, with those bail outs going for many of their bonuses. Hostess went bankrupt shortly after their executives got big fat bonuses themselves, while those same executives were demanding their labor force take a pay-cut. Naturally, they only blamed the labor when the company went under.

You evidence that they onl;y blamed the labour or are you just making it up?


Quote:Not always an option, especially in rural areas. If you don't want to contribute money to the oil companies, well, too bad because you still need to drive a car to function and every time you fill up the tank, you contibute to them. You want to go shopping without contributing to Walmart? Good luck if Walmart is the only store within 30 miles. It gets worse when poverty is added tothe mix and people have plenty of other options, we just can't really afford any of them.

The cost of filling up your car is directly related to the cost of Oil worldwide and the tax teh government puts on it. Oil companies have very little effect on their pirces

Companies that want out are free to go. They can take with them a burdensome tax penalty for continuing to do business within the United States unless they feel like giving up on the market altogether.

Quote:So you want to drive business out the enforce protectionism. Love to see the economty after you have destroyed it
Other companies will rise to fill in the gaps. Plenty of buisesses are started by people who don't feel entitled to eight figure salaries. Other countries will follow suit, undoubtedly, leaving companies who wish to be exploitative nowhere to sell anything.

I can assure you other countries won;t follow your example.
Quote:Companies don't need 50 million dollar executives to function. They do need motivated workers and a market to function. It is becoming time to make this known.


Incredible how you know so much more than companies how to run them. What exactly do you do for a living?

Quote:Surely you aren't suggesting that the current system is somehow closer to objective.

What do you mean "objective'?


Quote:Maybe. That's why the world's largest economies need to work together on this so that they have nowhere to run to..

Hilarious. You tax your CEOs so they leave and we will be delighted to bring them to the UK just as we have taken so many dynamic French business leaders.

Quote: We really don't have any choice but to force responsibility on the super wealthy. Left to their own devices, they will work you as hard as they can get away with, for as little as they can get away with, thriving on the poverty they are deliberately manufacturing because who cares if your operation is grinding a few thousand more people into penury? As long as you can add another meaningless zero on your paycheck, that's all that matters.

.

Why do we have 'no choice'? You really think that by taxing them more the companies they work for will pay their workforce a higher wage? Economics really isn't your thing is it?
