YOu truly are the voice of reason. I appreciate your posts.FarmerChick said:hikerchick is trying to make a point also........she is saying that yes, you have the right to complain about this disparity in corporate salaries and workers salaries .........but she is also asking how to change it?
No one answers her.
Because WE CAN not change it. Change to this level will come slowly over the next century maybe.
No one is going to change salary base anytime soon in this country.
Or other countries for that matter.
It is what it is!!
Mega corps employs thousands or millions of people. Mega corps have many companies running within their business network. A CEO does deserve BIG money for their positions. A CEO keeps jobs alive for their workers. It is what a company is willing to pay.
Only step is---who can change that? Have the govt step in and set all salaries in this country. (I don't think so)
Understanding it is a gripe for many is one thing---changing it is a whole different ballgame.
Either deal with it or get out there and try to take real action to change it.
If a mega company has 1.6 million workers, do you want the CEO to cut his pay by $1.6 million and give each and every worker a $1 raise?
Of course there is fraud on EVERY level to the CEO taking a big bonus maybe not deserved to that level of pay---to the little employee stealing staplers and paperclips or monies from the company they work for.
Fraud and theft is not effected by salary base that I can see. Fraud is not in only CEO situations, fraud is down to the lowest salary worker at any company.
If you don't want big money and live like others want to live...fine.
Don't deny them the right to climb to the top and reach those salaries.
And cutting back CEO salaries by demand is not going to save this country at all.
