what determines ceo compensation?

The better question is, what should determine CEO compensation?

There has always been and always will be income “inequality”. It is a ridiculous mantra.

So we shouldn’t try to reduce it as much as possible. Got it.

no we should not.

everyone should be paid what they are worth.

And who determines that?

take a couple guesses.

Problem is they aren’t.

CEOs - most of them, at any rate, are like those folks who sit on boards of directors - members of the Old Boys Club or whatever you want to call it.

Drive a company into the ground? No problem. After you’ve spend your golden parachute, just come and work for me at that business there. Try not to drive it into the ground but if you do, it’s all right, I’ve got anther position waiting for you.

if ceos drive a company into the ground they are done ceo’ing.

if they are well compensated despite their poor performance (many are, like one at my company), then at some point along the line they performed well enough to get said compensation.

but they wont anymore

50x” a cashier is completely arbitrary. much like how the economically clueless left (like AOC with her economics degree) arbitrarily decides what the min wage should be

Is it any more arbitrary than how current CEO pay is determined?

@thinkingman

you said “sure” when i asked if ceos should be paid what they are worth.

“Worth” is arbitrary. Is the American Airlines CEO worth what he is making?

Worth with caps. Can you think of any reason why 1 person should have 1 billion dollars? Would they survive on 100 million?

How do we implement caps? Tax them like we at 90% above 50 million or 100 million

ok “worth” is not arbitrary. unless you dont believe in capitalism and markets

yes i can think of reasons people would have a billion dollars of worth. some people drive enterprises that amount to massive revenues. dont be so jealous.

how much is bernie worth? not a billion. but a lot. should any one person have that much? i dont own three or more houses. do you? what’s the limit?

no ones proposing “caps” except the economically ignorant

do some non public school and non university level research (independent thinking). look up what happens when you price cap

everything is nice and cheap. but theres none of it to be had

tell this to economic retard AOC

And, in carrying through with you desire to transfer the property of one group of citizens to another group, you would violate one of the most fundamental inalienable rights of mankind . . . rights associated with property ownership

Not if the transferred property should belong to the person it’s being transferred to.

That logic is quite circular.

Too much income inequality brings economies to crashing halts.

And who determines that?

In a free society, people are meant to be free to mutually agree in their contracts and associations. In other words, an employer and an individual selling the property one has in their own labor should determine the value of the property being sold.

“The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable. The patrimony of the poor man lies in the strength and dexterity of his own hands; and to hinder him from employing this strength and dexterity in what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbor, is a plain violation of this most sacred property.” ___ Butchers’ Union Co. v. Crescent City Co., 111 U.S. 746 (1884)

they peddled their influence as politicians to get rich. he basically admits it

lazy but able bodied citizen to escape contributing an equal share in supporting the functions of government.

A truly equal share would be each individual putting in the exact same magnitude of cash. Are you proposing that? Cause anything else is non-equal.
