Forums - General - CEOs make 380x as much as the average worker?

What does it matter whether or not I think they deserve the money? It's not my money, I don't have a claim to it, and so I cannot rightfully tell a business where to spend it - and that counts if I am just a regular citizen, or a member of Government.

I am not against CEOs being paid however much they make. A company thrives based on the CEO.



You will never convince me that Capitalism works, never.

What kind of rebutal is that? That's a terrible guage for quality of life. I live in an area that has decaying infrastructure, lousy education and non-existant health care while I can drive a couple blocks and look at all the millionaires' homes. This system is inherintly flawed, like all systems sadly.

Infrastructure, education, and healthcare is dominated by Government, not capitalism?

True. And it will keep going up because companies don't want their CEO to be stolen away by another company. Simple supply and demand.

Not sure where you are located, but the government had nothing do to with my education or healthcare :-p. They'd just mess it up



why punish hard work and ambition? A good CEO deserves every penny they get,in my opinion.

Compared to......Where?

You live in Canada. One of the most capitalistic nations in the world. Would you rather live in a very non-capitalist nation like China, North Korea or so on? On average, the Canadian system is one of the best in the world. If you think it is bad where you're at, I highly suggest you visit elsewhere to see what non-capitalism brings you.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
