Not sure which part of 'justify = stupid' you don't understand...If you are going to make comments..try to make sense......you don't have to 'justify' your comments to me and Apple's stockholders don't have to 'justify' their CEO salaries to you.Ah, so we all agree now that justifying someone else's wages is stupid and we're now switching the thread to income inequality. Good. I like income inequality because trying to make incomes equal is stupid. We all agree on that too don't we?...Given the income disparity in this country..and given the power that wealth buys..it's a problem. There's been an erosion of the rights and wages of the average joe..and that's directly tied to the influence corporate cash has in politics....we can hijack this thread and switch the discussion to average incomes, but we'd have to stick with reality though...
You're making some sort of argument that shareholders have a say in salaries. That's absurd. And income inequality is fine. I'm not for equal incomes. But they should be in line with performance..and not at the expense of the company or labor. A company should never put up they can't afford a benefit..then pay one fellow a salary which equals the combined salary of every other employee under him. We have an executive to employee income ratio of something like 470:1. No executive has the right to extract all the wealth out of any capitalistic endeavor simply because they want it.
