That is a result of crazy business organization models that work when you have good leadership, and crazy **** from Japan (separate things, just to clarify). |

I don't want to go off topic though. I simply wanted to point out that some of the world's richest people do, in fact, give a good portion of their wealth back to the world.

Then they're practicing the conservative model of keeping the government out of the business of redistribution and relying on charities to take care of the poor and downtrodden. If they practiced what they preach, they'd give that money to the government, which they claim is the most efficient and effective distributor of resources.

Seeing as government has been in the business of redistribution since the dawn of civilization the conservative position would be to maintain that function.
Of course definitions change, but just saying.

Yea, we're not about monarchies anymore.
BUT I bring something to the table - not all governments were about redistribution.

So they are supposed to pay current workers more yet reduce their hours, and hire more workers? |

Country Ratio of Pay: CEO to Average Worker
Japan 11:1
Germany 12:1
France 15:1
Italy 20:1
Canada 20:1
South Africa 21:1
Britain 22:1
Mexico 47:1
Venezuela 50:1
United States 475:1
Income inequality is bad. You can reduce it by choosing to pay workers more or by redistribution of wealth (via taxes).

Points are easier to make when you choose the sample by hand.

Right, but it's built upon the narrative of cherry picking the most profitable companies in the most productive country which is depicted in gonzo's post.

*shudders* no.
In an ideal world corporations would be employee-owned, so corporate pay would be determined by those with a long-term stake in the company. |

If you were the one to decide a CEO's compensation how would you choose to compensate them? |

We can choose to pay our ceos much more than our employees and deal with the consequences or we can choose to pay or ceos less and have a stronger economy and less social issues. I'm not going to pick a number. I'm going to say less.

I'd implement the Fair tax and let them keep their money.
