re: #10 stabby

That all sounds good, and I don’t imagine the salaries of entertainers, sports stars, and other people of that nature makes any difference to the economy. However, until the majority of stock shares in companies are not owned (or at least controlled) by other corporate entities whose top officers are paying themselves in the same fashion as the companies whose stock they own, there won’t be much change.
Furthermore, as long as money concentrates in a smaller and smaller pool of ultra wealthy, they are able to influence legislation to see that the playing field becomes less and less even.

Neither spite nor communism are issues here.
