CEOs of the S&P500 companies made 335 times the average workers' salaries in their companies.
Average CEO compensation: 12.4 million
Average worker: 36.900 dollar
In 1980 the average CEO of the S&P500 companies made 42 times as much, in 1990, they made 107 times as much.

Don't worry, soon the plebs will make $0 when the robots takeover. Then there won't be income inequality because anything multiplied by zero is zero

Your Führer helped you with that...
Then again, every aspect of your country became better because of Hitler.
My God I feel bad just for being British.
I'm so sorry, Germany.
It's caused by deregulation of wall street (jews), mass immigration (jews again), and outsourcing (some anglos, but mostly jews)
the solution is to reregulate wall street, stop mass immigration, and stop outsourcing.

CEO's are paid the amount of value that they represent to the business, it's a unique position to run an entire business and not many people are good at it which drives up the value.
If the average worker was capable of being a CEO then they'd work as a CEO and not just an average worker, but they're not because it takes skill and experience that they don't have.
In the modern world running a business is more complicated because governments pile on more and more regulations and so you need to be more savvy to navigate them and the increasing complexities of technology etc. That's why CEO value is going up.
People are paid in the free market the value they bring to the business. As they should be.

Actually, if people make 0 dollars, CEOs will be making an infinite time more than the non existing workers.

It's definitely worse than absolute equality, indeed.

>>Corporations ruthlessly maximize shareholder profits at all cost
This one?
CEOs are paid whatever the market deems they are worth, so that statements is wrong.
However, I do not see how corporation can be "ruthless".
>>74288760
This.
Shareholders pay CEOs massive pay-packages because they want them to take risks. The massive pay-package acts as an incentive to take the risk, if it backfires they fire the CEO and give him a massive amount of money so they don't scare off future potential CEOs.

That's not how this works, pinko.

What would happen if the government taxed CEOs a lot more? What if the average net income of a CEO goes down to e.g. 100 times the average net income of a worker? Would that end capitalism?

Of course it's about skill. Becuase if you hire a bad CEO then they can fuck the entire business in a very short time span and people who are investors in the business and on the board of directors aren't going to hire anyone who will do that.
There's no free rides, people have to prove themselves. And some people got it easy because they were given investments by parents or inheritance but ultimately only those who did something good with that money get the job.
This idea that CEOs are lazy fatcats who just sit there smoking cigars is a liberal power fantasy of what it's like to be at the top. I'm a Director for a medium sized international business and our CEO is one of the hardest working people I know, he calls me at 2am in his time zone and is already working every day, he expects his Directors to take calls any hour of the night.

Companies are bigger. CEO pay generally scales with company size.

If government taxed CEO's more then those CEOs would get less money and would feel inclined to resign and relocate to countries with smaller tax on the rich because their net income is higher after tax.
It's called human capital flight and it's why taxes aren't just slammed to 90%+ for successful people. It's a global economy now and that will never go away, and the rich are the ones who can relocate the easiest because they have the funds to do so.

CEO wages are pretty irrelevant to the wages of the rest of the workers. For example, McDonalds CEO gets paid 8 million dollars, meanwhile the company employs nearly 2 million wage slaves who want a $7 raise, costing the company $14 million on an hourly basis, 40 hours a week means labor costs would go up $500 million each week. Who the fuck cares if the CEO gets 6 or 7 million? It changes nothing for the workers because they're not productive enough to justify a pay raise.

>would feel inclined to resign and relocate to countries with smaller tax on the rich because their net income is higher after tax.
As far as I know, the decision whether to relocate the headquarters of a business is the decision of the shareholders. The CEO has no say in it.

No i mean the CEO will quit his position in the business and become CEO of another business which is located in a better tax zone. Although quite frankly it is possible to relocate HQs to certain area for tax breaks it's just less likely to be done unless it benefits the business rather than just the CEO.
Part of understanding CEOs is dispelling the myth that it's not just some other job, because it is. CEOs will reguarly go job hunting for better paying CEO positions and because there's so few of them who are proven to be great at their jobs it makes the market competative to keep them through bonuses and high wages.
A board of directors isn't going to pay a CEO so much money that it's a detriment to the business, they'll just fire them and get someone cheaper. The pay they get is relative to the value they bring to the business and its predicated around running businesses well, being a rare talent.
