Executive bonuses can get out of hand yes, but take anyone from the bottom 80% workforce of MacDonald's, put them in the CEO position and the company would collapse. The CEO (and anyone else really) meanwhile could easily flip burgers.

The capitalist system has flaws, but a MacDonald's employee can always save money, learn skills, and make shrewd decisions to escape these flaws. Complaining about a system makes sense in an authoritarian regime where you are disallowed social mobility, not in a capitalist system where literally anyone can, through their own will, advance and thrive. And that doesn't mean it won't always be easy, or equally hard, but that's just life. Nut up and shut up.

Taxation a bit more?

Wealth inequality is legit problem and It's highest that it's ever been to current times. I didn't agree at first when I was dumbass libertarian, after looking at what top economists had to say, apparently I agree. I think we can create a higher bracket of taxation and then tax them a bit more. Most of the money a lot of rich people have goes into assets, like houses, bonds stocks etc. All these assets are overprices and a lot of rich people still have a lot of money. Rich people's money grows exponentially, while poor people's wages have been stagnant.

A lot of these idiots here are like 'HUR EMPLOYYEES DUM CEO GOOD"
The truth is, we have to live in an environment where we give opportunities to everybody. A little more tax to give more opportunities to unfortunate/low IQ people is overall improvement to our society.

I’m already wealthy and you’re a fucking loser. Let me break it down for you:

Say you drop the CEO pay for McDs by 90%. Congrats, you’ve just lost access to the best managers on the planet, but that’s ok. I’m sure someone who is worth $2m a year can’t be that big of a fuck up right? Wrong.

There have been numerous instances where the top minds in business have nearly destroyed global titans with multi-hundred year corporate histories due to one or two very bad high value decisions.
Then guess who else loses their jobs? That’s right, the 1million assholes who are making a lowly $7k a year from their part time fry cook job, plus all the land owners and managers and stock holders who are left out to dry. The economic implications of that $18m a year pay cut amount to billions upon billions in economic consequences. And what’s worse? The burden of these losses will inevitably be shouldered by the taxpayer in the form of social safety net liabilities. You’re fucking retarded.

The problem with all the arguments to the effect of "hurr durr it's capitalism, you're free to do what you want. Why don't you start your own business, muh bootstraps, lazy low iq etc etc" is that they are ignoring scarcity completely. It wouldn't be possible for everybody to start their own business or come up with a million dollar idea or successfully invest. Of course there is inequality like this because the system is based on inequality, and it has nothing to do with social darwinism or laziness or low iqs. Also you do realize a ceo of a huge corporation like this is doing very little actual work, right? He isn't muh small business owner, he isn't grinding everyday to keep his business afloat, he is doing nothing and letting people under him handle everything. If you are going to defend capitalism at least acknowledge economic reality and stop acting like it is a system where everybody can make it without being born into wealth, having connections, or being extremely lucky. You are all so deluded. Literal stockholm syndrome.

There are two problems with the original numbers. Firstly, the worker isn't working a full 40 hours per week because $7,017 is about $3.50/hour which is less than half minimum wage.

As for the CEO's salary, that is excessive because large corporations in the U.S. grossly overpay their mercenary executives. If the CEO is that capable of creating value, why not pay him $600,000/year with another two million dollars in stock (no options)? It's because the vast majority of CEOs are very low quality managers and do not create any measurable business value beyond what any other person would create. The super performing CEOs: Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Howard Schultz, Fred Smith, etc., can easily become very wealthy by running a company very well and holding on to the equity.

Remember that crucible of "great" management: General Electric? How's old Jackie boy and his cronies looking now after the shell games they've played have run their course and there is nothing left to plunder?

Ok since you seem to need it, let me spoon-feed you. The board of directors make a subjective judgement of what numerical value should be put on the work the CEO does. However, when that subjective judgement produces results like 300 000% more pay for the CEO than the average worker we should question the soundness of that judgement. Like what influences them to decide on that number? Why isn't the CEO paid more in stock options which would incentivize him to do a better job? Does the CEO and other management influence the boards' judgement? Now here's the kicker:

The value can be subjective, but that doesn't mean it's immune from scrutiny

$10MM was equity/options
Long term comp is $5.6MM, suggesting he doesn't have access to it now, probably a deferred compensation plan which is only accessible after retirement.

the current discontent is because taking a waged job is the same as selling yourself into indentured servitude, you are a medieval serf you will never amount to anything as long as you are a wagecuck, biz has been telling you this in memes for ages
the societal problem we have today is that too many people believe the lie and then at age 30-40 realize they are fucked and will be a slave the rest of their lives, this is really a big problem
you see the underclasses never matter, they don't start revolutions the competent middleclas does
and everything our society has been doing for the past 50 years is create conditions to destroy the middle class to the point where their only logical move is to burn civilization down french revolution style

so in conclusion the problem isn't ceo making a lot of cash, the problem is telling competent people starting as a mcd wagecuck will lead you to greatness eventually

To be fair this happens because the typical human being is hilariously gullible and self unaware.

The average person adores some form of outliers (the millionaires, CEOs, rocks tars, or whatever) who are clearly not normal people or at least did not take a normal path through life. But simultaneously, the average person has a hidden obsession with being normal, doing normal things, taking normal decisions, mocking those who attempt stray from normality.

the people complaining about this are the educated liberal arts pseudointellectual who holds himself superior over the common plebs, but sees he is as fucked as they are
that is what i am trying to say old societies tried to coopt the competent and intellectual of the lower classes into supporting the system
our current society is doing its very best to entice these people to start a revolution

I don't mind. McDonalds is a big company, and has a lot of money to go around; and wealth isn't a zero sum game. Those workers can get money without it coming from the CEO. It's not like these tax the rich and give to the poor policies are even directed at workers. The government gives all of that money to the welfare-class, and the workers have relatively little in terms of gain from the government.

What's important is institutional changes that encourage people to develop their personal value and output, so that they can earn larger amounts. Education and apprenticeships are a big part of this. The goal shouldn't be to make McDonalds a viable career, it should be to make sure that people can get careers other than McDonalds.

How is the quality of life better? Because there's more technology and convenience? That doesn't make it better. The cost of living, the value of the dollar, and the upkeep is much more complex than it used to be because life wasn't a rollercoaster in the 50's. 15% of a family's income annually was enough to pay for their kid to go to college. Today it's at around 80% of their income to pay for their kid to go.

The food quality was better then because there wasn't as many additives in what people ate as there are today. Years and years of chemicals being applied to fertilizers all across America and other parts of the world and the emerging fast food industry changed the landscape of health. Look at what people looked like in the 50s and look at what they look like now. Obesity to the moon. The poor still live in the same conditions. More people, more competition, and less to go around.

poor people today are worse off then the 50's not because now we have ipads and they had newspapers, but rather that the security of your station in life is today very fragile
even with better material conditions a single accident or health issue could make you unemployed and bankrupt and living on the streets, back in those days even after an emergence getting a new job was easier and less dependant on previous experiences then today
better healthcare exists but only if you can afford it so evne here the tech advance is limited for poor people
the only real improvement for the underclasses compared to the 50's is in workplace safety regulations and understanding of the dangers that vapours pose

but even on a more macro scale material welbeing is meaningless for most people
human societies are deeply entrenched around relative level of social standing, this isn't even limited to humans you can see the exact same thing in monkeytroops

You're comparing a time when a lot of monopolies like oil, car and phone industries existed and had to be broken up because there were a lot of wealth inequality.

False. I said this system is shit because most people fail at life. Fact
1. Discouraged workers (someone that wants a job, but gave up and hasn't applied in over 4 weeks) are NOT counted as unemployed
2. People who make HARDSHIP wages ARE counted as employed
Putting those 2 together = makes the unemployment stat look better/lower than it actually is. It is a lie that fools without critical thinking believe
44% of 22-27 yr old college grads are underemployed (inb4 just do computer science as if everyone is capable of that. Even they have like a 24ish% underemployment rate for 22-27 yr olds: https://www.newyorkfed.org/research/college-labor-market/college-labor-market_compare-majors.html
Think about that. NEARLY 1/4 cs graduates aged 22-27 will be underemployed (don't know how it evens out over time. Still not amazing though. It's around 34% when including all ages and all majors). Also 1/4 college grads make highschool wages.
7/10 graduate with 29k+ in debt.
78% of full time workers live paycheck to paycheck (*LITERALLY one paycheck away from homelessness and that is basically poverty*).*42% of americans will retire broke* (so you give up the best years of your life being someone's bitch just to retire with nothing),57%of americans can't afford an unexpected 500 dollar bill,50%of renters are cost burdened (spend over30%of their income on rent. Half of those spend over50%of their income on rent),30%of metropolis city jobs (where most jobs are created) pay hardship wages (not enough to move out with) and32%pay livable wages (basically poverty) which leaves38% that are decent (I say decent because you also have to take into consideration the toxicity of work culture. Also, some jobs ONLY pay livable or up BECAUSE of the hours put in. For instance, the average american works 47 hours a week. 49% work 50 hours or more a week.

Hello you stupid fucking retard, if you want socialist healthcare and housing, leave the US, none of us want you.

American superior healthcare tech came from capitalism because, and this is gonna blow your mind: the best doctors want the highest pay. That's why our healthcare is superior and that's why it's expensive. As for property, if it can be owned, it is an asset and is subject to the free market. High demand property costs more, what a fucking surprise. How the fuck do you think housing is built? It takes work, it takes materials, it takes MONEY. Who the fuck is going to pay for your housing? The state? Hope you're ready for minimal ammenities, repairs, and maintenance because that's what you get when you give 0 incentive to the market.

Fuck you you worthless piece of shit. I hope you die in the streets.

CEO's are not anymore inherently skilled than burger flippers.

Posit something they are skilled at..... Embezzling money? Cocktail smoozing? Using loans to buy back stock?

Back up your argument that CEOs are not skilled. If CEOs are not skilled, then why didn't the stockholders pick some random faggot who would be willing to do the job for minimum wage?

oh my GOD, youre illiterate. I answered that. >>16503131
the bottom, RETARD. PEOPLE should pay enough to cover material and labor costs.

Imagine not being able to fucking READ. Retard.

As for the healthcare thing, what the fuck makes you think we have the most superior system? Cite a source. Also Fyi, we are the only 1st world country without universal healthcare.

Get fucking destroyed, bitch. You went on a giant rant making basesless assumptions (u.s. having the "best" healthcare and healthcare system despite it financially fucking people and making them into super debt slaves even those with insurance) and failing to read how I said people should pay for it individually, not the fucking state, assclown.

Get fucking btfod, bitch. Kys

you responded to me you dumb cunt. universal healthcare is chronically fucked if you value time and efficiency. I'm not interested in getting waitlisted by a bunch of commie bureaucrats when I'm bleeding out so they can keep their trash healthcare system. Ours works perfectly fine, unless you're a povery monkey like you I guess. I understand retards like you are incapable of critical thought beyond gibsmedat, but it looks like you can read, which is surprising for a poor worthless faggot, so you might eventually figure out that you don't know shit.

I work in investment banking by the way, I'm guessing you're a burger flipper? No wait, amazon picker. Ah who cares, you're a bottom feeder either way.

How do you feel about bankers? I bet you love to jack off to thoughts of 'winning' against your perceived oppressors. Clearly you can't win by arguing so I guess you can fantasize about the a revolution lol. You truly are pathetic.

The term "Useful idiots" has always been used to describe communist traitor like you. There's two types of people, those with integrity who'll fight unfair and irrational criticism no matter who it's directed against and socialists believe in "the end justifies the means." Someone with the responsibility of managing a massive corporation should get a high wage. With the GDP per capita in America at 59000 per year, you should have no problem getting enough of that money to live well-off, unless eurocuck or CanUCK. This isn't the case for 6 billion people.

Wait. Last response for a while. Your a dumbass if you think my idea is unrealistic. Never heard of no profits like habitat for humanity? They arent common enough.
