This is the enemy. But they’d rather vent their wrath on immigrants

Welcome to the absurdities of late stage capitalism.

So wrong

Trickle down works! Wait. No, hang on....

Unreasonable.

Agreed. Trickle-down was a lie not a miscalculation.

When Lord Weinstock retired from GEC a new CEO came in, with the share price at £13. Within ~18 months it was down to 3p and tens of thousands had been made redundant. The new CEO left with a reported £1.6m payoff, for ‘loss of office’.

And I think that's messed up as a basic concept, particularly when almost all people are literally never going to make big money. Capitalism doesn't allow for it. Yes, some jobs are more difficult or nasty. But pay doesn't reflect that, or toilet cleaners would be paid millions.

If they are mathematically provable to multiply revenue by a factor x52 with their expertise and insight then that's fine of course.

Tax the bastards.

Absolutely. And if we can't contribute to their accounts in some way, we are deemed worthless, and they don't care if we live or die.

When CEO pay reaches hundreds or thousands that of their typical worker, the USA will be like Capitalist America.

Companies AND charities; many of which get public money, and in the case of charities, also donations...

52 times? How quaint. In the US, it averages over 300x for the top 100 companies.

Utter stupidity and grounds enough for a revolution, by contrast ordinary wages have hardly risen at all since the early 80s

Disgraceful and how exactly have they earned that big a pay difference?

Does it really matter what Marx said or not? A CEO is still someone that needs to work to pay their bills that are still closer to a homeless person than to a billionaire capitalist that didn’t need to work a single day in their life

It's a lack of ambition, I tell you!

Yup Rookie numbers 😄

What’s new? It’s even worse here!!

Wealth is indeed a terminal illness

Perhaps they can afford to pay 52x the tax?

Total disgrace

And the only thing they are doing is fuck things up, time for revolution?
