"as long as I'm getting paid fairly for my work" Fairness is in the eye of the beholder. To me there's nothing fair about the economic whip. Nothing fair about starving or freezing to death if you don't work. Nothing fair about having to sacrificing my time and my life to afford to feed my family, have a roof over our heads. There's nothing fair about someone's who orders others around never having to work another day in their life while the people who actually do the work having to make endless sacrifice to make their bosses rich, and usually be spat upon for it, while those who made their fabulous wealth by exploiting others are lauded endlessly as if they were the benefactors of mankind.

This is straying away from the original point of worker pay relative to CEO pay. You can have highly paid CEOs that treat their employees well, and you can have low paid CEO's who are brutal towards their employees.

>Nothing fair about starving or freezing to death if you don't work. Nothing fair about having to sacrificing my time and my life to afford to feed my family, have a roof over our heads. How on Earth do you think people survived before the dawn of capitalism? Hint: you can do it today, head out onto a homestead, build your own house, get your own food, pool your own water. The economic whip just allows you to do what your good at, I can do what I'm good at, and the guy who is good at growing food and feeding us is good at what they're good at. This isn't worse.

  Roughly 25% of the world still lives this way. People can fill in the blanks of what happens to subsistence farmers who get impacted by drought, severe weather, swarm of locust, and other serious factors outside of their control. Google employees complaining about Tech CEO salaries is the 1% complaining about the 0.01% of the world.
