Yes, the CEO'S are a member of the class that exploits the working people, the true laborers, the laborers who make this world turn, who the CEO cannot function without, if only more realized this.. Yeah, how do you define "worked your way up" most don't come from poverty, they "work their up" by being born into upper class families with large amounts of wealth, getting lucky enough to get through education paid, get into a particular business...Well...a CEO isn't the working class...it's a whole other game. But here is a surprise, but I would say most CEO's worked their way up. Maybe not from the bottom of the ladder...but they got an education to start out a little above.No one has any problem with that until they screw over their labor force. It's also important to note that CEO pay does not seem to be based on performance to the same degree as the working class. With their contracts they can run a company into the ground and still get paid handsomely.OK. You sort of took my questioned and sort of answered it while deflecting?I don't think anyone wants to work for .25 a day, however, we live in a world where these poor individuals have to work with the few jobs provided to them to get the basic needs of life.What are you worth. Will you work for me for .25/ day?The free market fails at dictating salary to billions of people then. I hate this "success" narrative put forth, as if being a CEO is the only way to be successful or how people define it. Without money? Wait, hold on, do you think the walmart CEO is worth more then 100,000 sweatshop workers, adjusting their pay to american dollars?
Can we agree, you assign a worth to yourself for work performed? Your standards, .25 is ridculous. So what about a CEO that makes decisions that make millions upon millions of dollars? Some of those decisions are tough...and you can't agree with many of them. That CEO is being paid for his ability. He is compensated for what he demands as others in this world do the same.
