Well if 10 percent of the population contributed to 70 percent of the world's wealth then this is fair. Without the 10 percents leadership the world would not be what is is today. Think about it, you're just an engineer. Anybody can build something trivial like a rocket ship, a super computer or a large hadron collider. However, not everyone has the leadership skills to actually inspire you build that rocket ship. That's why CEOs are so rare. If we weren't giving the majority of Americas wealth to these CEOs there wouldn't be any technology in the world today because nobody is around inspiring the engineers build this stuff. So this wealth inbalance makes perfect sense. The amount of skill involved with inspiring people vs building a light speed drive is incomparable, only the CEO can inspire engineers to build such a thing. If you hire 10 CEOs instead of 10 engineers and pay them 90 percent of Americas wealth you'd be accumulating so much leadership skills and potential into a single company that you won't even need the engineers anymore... The technology will just materialize from excess inspiration.
