>I'd like to see CEOs treated like true investors. Want to make 50 million if the company does well? Cool. Company loses money? You owe $60 million. I'd like to see people not worry about what other people get paid. Unless you're a shareholder, what difference does it make? It's not your money.

It makes a difference when someone is paid several orders of magnitude more than others in the company because it massively increases inequality, which affects everyone.

    I've kept this thread open in a tab for days now hoping you would get a coherent answer. Because being 'anti-poverty', I get. Extreme poverty sucks. But being anti-inequality in a small-world networked, coupled, non-linear dynamic system just seems like being against the laws of physics or math (to me). I'm going to close this tab now. If you ever get a (coherent) response, would you drop me a line letting me know that you have underneath this comment?
