Democrats have no problem at all when Ellen Degeneres makes 65 million dollars.

Yet they get their underlovelies in a wad when a CEO of a company that has 3000 employees and grosses a hundred million dollars makes 5 million dollars.

Why is that?

Selective outrage. Leftists, despite them saying they hate rich people, only hate the rich people that aren't on their side or champion their causes.

Remember how leftists hated the Koch Bros so much when BO was in office? Notice how you haven't heard a peep out of the left now that it is known they hate DJT as much as they do despite the Koch Bros not changing their political beliefs?

They don't mind entertainers and athletes making obscene amounts of money. They just hate business.

It is exactly the same dynamic that causes high salaries for CEOs and for entertainers -- supply and demand. Democrats don't have common sense.

And we say nice things about Al-Qaeda all the time.
 
Still no logical answer from the left.

Several CEO's of large corporations voluntarily gave back their salaries and bonuses in 2008 after the collapse, and some were forced to give the money back. But not the guy who did more to cause the collapse than any other CEO in the country. Franklin Raines made more than $100 million from cooking the books at Fannie Mae, but he didn't give back a dime, and was protected by the Obama administration from prosecution.

Hate isn’t the appropriate word. Benefiting while demonizing works with the pandering and nonsense.

Really guys! Democrats don't hate the rich. Now what they don't like is the power they have in our government. With that power they have been able to get legislation passed that has tilted the table far over in their direction. The results of which are depicted in the graphs below.

Now the really sad thing is through right wing propaganda Republicans have convinced a large segment of the working class Americans that this is as it should be. Nothing is further from the truth. We have been here before. The guilded age of the late 1800's and the roaring 20's. Both ended in economic collapse. This one would have too had not our government borrowed trillions of dollars to bail out the rich. We really just.kicked the can down the road. We certainly didn't fix anything

Recall Globalist Granny telling Wall St. bankers she has to talk crap about them to the masses but her feeling towards them is she was on their side.

Leftists despise rich people that don't march in lockstep with them. Otherwise, leftists love them some rich folk.

The problem is not the CEO's salaries it is the workers who have failed to share the windfall profits the company is making. When CEO's make 200 to 300 times their workers something is wrong with the system. It was not always this way.

The commercial banks and their deregulation were the cause of the housing bubble not Fannie Mae. The GOP was in control too and could have stopped it but they bill did not get out of committee mostly because GW Bush opposed it.

Fannie and Freddie Held Fewer Toxic Loans than Most Banks
Regulations made sure Fannie and Freddie took on fewer of these loans than most banks. They acquired more of these loans to maintain market share in a very competitive market.

In 2005, the Senate sponsored a bill that prohibited them from holding mortgage-backed securities in their portfolio. Congress wanted to reduce the risk to the government. In total, the two GSEs owned or guaranteed $5.5 trillion of the $11.2 trillion mortgage market.

But the Senate bill failed, and Fannie and Freddie increased their holdings of risky loans. They could make more money from the loans' high interest rates than from the fees they got from selling the loans. Again, they were seeking to maintain high stock prices in a very competitive housing market.

As government-sponsored enterprises, Fannie and Freddie took on more risk than they should have. They didn't protect the taxpayers who ultimately had to absorb their losses. But they didn't cause the housing downturn. They didn't flood the market with exotic loans. Instead, they were a consequence, not a cause, of the mortgage crisis.

Did Fannie and Freddie Cause Mortgage Crisis?

Democrats love all their rich people. Look at all the rich democrats in Congress. And BTW you seldom hear of them making donations to charity.
