Look - as far as CEO pay (at the very, very top) this is reality of the real world. Just like Madonna makes far more than I ever will. Or like Obama (with his book deals present and future just like the Clintons did) will certainly make far more than I ever will. Both people I have little respect for. So be it.
Just like these type of people exist even in Socialist countries - and at the same high percentage over the ordinary worker; in these cases - far higher. So be it...not even communist socialism in the former USSR changed this - it encouraged a greater divide between rich and poor.
The problem with demonising the top achievers (and trying to confiscate their wages) is that you also have to demonise their companies...these are the companies that directly or indirectly provide the private sector employment and individual wealth in the U.S... you could tax every one of these "uber-rich" every penny they make and still not provide the huge amount of revenue the government needs to pay for all this spending.
I think most of the far-left are big weenies...if you want total government control of major industry (rather than private) just because you think the CEO makes too much money, or the stockholders might make that horrible thing called profit -
Then call yourself what you really are in historical political terms - socialists.
