To be rich, you have to maintain it, if you don’t you’ll lose it all. There’s a reason 70% of lottery winners lose every in a short period of time, they can’t handle having any, because most poor (in the US at least) will blow any savings they have on brand new $300 sneakers or something else absurd.

To be fair the actual business owners (not just appointed ceos and middle management that doesnt give a shit) make decisions that impact them, their livelihood and also the livelihood of ALL of their employees, while for an employee, their decisions only/mostly impact their own life. So a wrong decision on the top can destroy the company very very quickly.

The workers in the hats doubtless live in a socialist or socialist-leaning country. If these workers are being abused by this arrangement why doesn't their all-powerful government protect them? Maybe they're being paid a fair market value for the rudimentary work they're performing in whatever country they're performing it in.

Being a CEO is a big responsibility, you have the performance of a very large organization under your influence and you are in turn under intense scrutiny; one wrong move could threaten the entire company and therefor imperil hundreds of thousands, if not millions of workers across multiple countries that both work for your company and the many third party organizations that assist your company in performing its stated function. A high-powered executive might make 10 million a year, but if he wasn't there the rest of the employees would usually be left with nothing but extra pocket change and a less efficient operation overall that might not be able to pay as much or hire as many.

it's just retarded leftist drivel. if having a high paying job was that easy, companies could fire their top earners, and replace them with minimum wage workers. Surely SOME company would have thought to try that before, and exploit the market inefficiency.
For example, do the math with the McDonald's CEO. If you confiscated ALL of their wages, and distributed them to all the workers, they would make only 4 cents an hour more. If you're whining that top earners are a problem you're just a retard who has no idea what they actually do in their job.

To add:
You have an isolated view on value and see it 'as it is' - yes, work of a laborer, by itself, HAS 'value'. But in the context of a society POWER is value and wealth. If more people can do what you can, you have LESS power and thus LESS valuable because you are replaceable.

To realise this vision of yours where people with least power can obtain luxuries in life is possible, but only if we have enough REAL WEALTH and RESOURCES to support it (fiat is neither true wealth or resource).

Even if you, against all odds, do manage to become some of the most powerful individual and nullified all power dynamics that exists for the 'greater good' and give material luxuries for the powerless...

We'll still return to square one within a generation, because newborns will set their environments as the baseline and strive to compete to be better. What was luxurious for the parents becomes the norm for the child

No system will ever be perfect because it all boils down to power. What we have now is pretty good as there are multiple sides of different opinions to keep each other in check
