I didn't say they deserve the big enormous paychecks. But they do need to be paid. They still have bills that need paid and food to put on the table.
I'd be okay capping it to like 2x the median salary at the company. But if we leave it up to a vote it'd be $0/year because of people like you.
I would suggest paying everyone the same. Janitor, CEO, doctors, etc.
If everyone has the same money, we will be equal. Ideally even people who can't work.
And stop producing wasteful shit. Stop advertisment, that alone would change the world for the better. Stop capitalism while we're at it.
And give everyone the same baseline quality of life until we can guarantee it for everyone and forever.
Then we can talk about who gets paid more.
one of the benefits of capitalism is that people can trade time for currency and currency for goods and services, education is a service that enables access to more efficient time to currency conversions.
No, it benefits those with power to slowly gain even more power, everything else is a fairytale.
Look at global south, and tell me that capitalism benefits people.
