Oh they work harder than me do they? How hard do I work then?
I've been exposed to a lot of executives and many aren't all that hard working. I know many people working harder for far less.
Ok, I believe you work hard, sorry for the wrong assumption.
What executives where have you "been exposed" to and under what circumstances?
Do you own the companies they work for? Do you own any stock in those companies?
If not it is none of your business.
Many of them are relatives of important people. So they are pushed to the top without really deserving it. It's counter to your idea that all top executives work harder than everyone else. Doesn't matter if its my business.
Amazing isn't it that someone in another country learns how to speak English and does the tech support as good or better than an American?
I've dealt with American tech support and I've dealt with tech support in India. There is absolutely no comparison. The American guy was on the phone with me for an hour, solved all of my technical problems, walked me throught the fixes and got my computer working better than it had before.
Tech support from India was clueless. They were unable to go past a set of rote questions and could not think quickly outside of the list of rote fixes they suggested. They were more interested in selling me services I didn't currently have than in solving my problems. I have tech support in India solve my problem or provide me with any useful information.
Bell Canada was forced to bring their technical support back to Canada because people were both disgusted that they sent these jobs overseas, and they were named as the "worst service" in Canada because of it.
You're dealing with people for whom English is a second language, and who have difficulty thinking outside the box in a second language. Half the time, they don't even know whath you've asked. They were hired because they speak English and could read the sheets provided to them. When faced with problems their lists can't solve, they have nothing for you.
Who sets the pay for executives?

Most of them middle class.
Quit the hatin on people that have worked harder than you.

Again, another conservative proves he is ignorant of how corporations are run.
Stock holders do NOT establish executive pay. That is done by the Board of Directors. These are executives of other large corporations whose compensation is similarly established by their own companies B of D's. The salaries have little if anything to do with performance, and everything to do with CEO's scratching each others' backs by raising compensation levels for themselves and their peers. When they vote one another raises, they are ensuring their own pay levels rise.
Steve Jobs is a really poor example to use. Jobs was a singular visionary, the kind of person we might see once in a century, and as such, he was essential to Apple's success. But it should be remembered that he was also fired by the Board of Directors of Apple because he was difficult and demanding, and ran his division of Apple as a "pirate entity". It has been said that Jobs was a great visionary, but a poor businessman.
By the time Jobs returned to Apple, he had learned more about business and subsequently said getting fired was the best thing that happened to him.
I am by no means wealthy, or even remotely close to it. But I think that if you are wealthy via earning such wealth, you are not obligated to share your wealth with others. However, I do believe that the wealthy should not have tax loopholes. All people should pay a fixed percentage of their income toward taxes, not to exceed twenty percent.

I ask 1 simple question
how much was Steve Jobs worth to Apple stock holders?
sense his death there stock has went from 600+ to 450- per share
billions of dollars gone
Ron Johnson got over 50 million in like 18 months to fail miserably at JCP.

BS, that is what someone told you.
Every publicly held company out there does not operate making a profit with "relatives of important people" running the company.
That is a bunch of bullshit. If you believe that you have no business in this discussion.

Hey dude, as a stock holder of three corporations that send me proxy voting cards for board of director selections, I can tell you that the vast majority of stock holders that vote, vote a straight ticket based on the recommendations of the committee responsible for selecting potential board members.
Like the fact stock holders vote is some sort of big deal. The only time the selections run into a problem is IF a big BIG BIG stock holder has some sort of issue to raise. Usually the voting is a formality. To satisfy corporate law.
Of course small corporations (you maybe) typically fill their board positions with family and loyal friends and there may be only a handful of stock holders.. Tough to get elected to the board then eh?
I thought you knew this shit?
