Which of these business leaders are (or were) worth what they earn(ed) annually?
Explain.
Explain.
If the shareholders think a CEO is overpaid they can change that. What exactly are you proposing? For Barack Obama to decide what each CEO should make?

Seriously, why does it matter what a CEO is paid?
I thought Larry Page was the CEO of Google. Has there been a coup in Geekland?
But what you're showing isn't what they're really making. I mean, it's not like they only get their paycheck the same as Joe Sixpack does. Add in the stocks, stock options, and other goodies to what you've posted - then we'll talk.Which of these business leaders are (or were) worth what they earn(ed) annually?

Small groups of powerful people are using their social and political power to continually vote themselves raises, leading to a culture of rampant pay inflation that violates the basic tenant of capitalism: reward success and punish incompetence.
You know how conservatives complain about teachers that are incompetent, overpaid and impossible to fire? Its like that, only instead of the students and taxpayers, they're ****ing over shareholders, customers, the people that work for them, and the economy in which they teeter.
The problem is maybee lack of medals. That does a person really becomes more happy if he earns 1 or 2 million instead of 0,5 million for material reason? Maybee it is instead mostly about status, power, and a sense of accomplishment that makes people wanting to earn that much. So the trick is maybe is finding medals and other ways to make Ceo to feel important that is less costly then throwing money at them.
LOL, we're docking your pay, but the good news is, you're getting this "Achievement medal" we bought at hobby lobby.

I think a ratio of 100:1 from highest to lowest paid is pretty steep already - but it's much worse than that. For example:That's true, including the value of their stocks/options/etc. dramatically increases those figures further, but it's not as if the question is unanswerable in its current form. Are they even worth those base salary/bonus figures?
