You think pro sports doesn't require hard work?
They play a game. It's not work. It's fun
Yeah, I know he makes billions for the company. But is he worth $360,000 per day? I say this from the outside looking in, but nobody, NOBODY, should earn that kind of money. It's that our perception of money has become out of whack with reality. I bet that guy sits at home in a $30,000 recliner and thinks "I deserve this".
And what the fuck are you going to do when someone makes something that nets them more than that per day, like say Windows?

And that one guy was responsible for windows?
None of the programmers, hardware tech, testers, even janitors contributed a bit, it was all that CEO?

No but what the fuck happens when his cut gets bigger than that because it sells through the roof?

Well that is obviously the sales dept not the CEO.
the bigger the boss the more people they keep busy generating reports and spreadsheets for them.

So you can't think of a single scenario where someone could legitimately make more than that arbitrary number of yours?

Your language weakens your replies. Seriously.
Beyonce and Jay Z made 260,000,000 dollars last year, should they have a cap on what they can earn?
and all the pro sports players......
no whining about that....just the guys in suits, they are evil because they don't shoot hoops, tackle, or hit home runs
liberal logic
The title says it all. One mans bonus (Goldman Sachs) can help an entire country. Its sickening. 100 million sounds like a lot to some people (most people), but to some, their annual "bonus" is just that, a bonus. What in the world does one person do to "earn" a bonus that big? It's because the banks are indeed, corrupt. This is why the middle class is going to disappear. We're going to end up like a 3rd world country, either filthy rich or dead broke. It might take a hundred years, but if we don't change something, it will happen, no more middle class.
How about a salary cap? Say only 10 million per year? Oh my, what will happen to those bankers? Can they scrape by on 10 million? I'm afraid they might go hungry........Do these bankers not have a conscious? Do they really think they are "worth" it?
This nation is built on freedom, especially economic freedom. The idea that we should be able to tell other people they cant make a certain amount of money is absurd and unamerican. Let's just screw that guy because we wont do what he has done or cant do it. How does screwing other people over benefit us?

Ok how about we salary cap all those professional sports stars? After all they make MILLIONS a year. If 100k is obscene then I can just imagine what you think of the MILLIONS a year.
How about Rock Stars and singers? Actors? Doctors?

Most professional sports already fall under a salary cap and they all have a rookie cap that ensures team control at a "cheap" price for the first few years of their career.

I'm not sure if you would call this a "cap", but here's an example from my sport, motorcycle racing. We have a huuuuuuuge salary range in our sport right now. Some make 800,000 per year that only race once! Then we get guys who race all season long, 16 races, risking their lives for around 60,000 per year. What has happened a few times in the past is that these title sponsors for the riders lose huge money and disappear. What some managers and agents have brought up is to set a cap at 100,000 per rider, then put the rest of the money into the purse money. You have to understand that currently to win a MAJOR race gets you around $10,000. No kidding. With the cap in place, a rider could win $80,000 per event, all the way down to $10,000 for last place. But you would have to race to earn it. Our problem right now is that riders aren't racing to earn it, they sign a contract, get hurt, sit out the season, and EVERYONE suffers. From the fans to the sponsors, and from the manufactures to the riders. And basically the sport in general.
The only ones that protest this are the guys at the top making the big bucks and thier agents. Kinda sounds like whats going on with our banking industry, only replace the riders with bankers, and agents with the government.

Ya sure thing, they have a GENERAL cap that lets them pay a LOT for one guy if they want. Once again you are missing the point. It is NONE of your business how much someone gets paid. YOU have no right to demand they get paid less then they do. Nor are Bonuses your business.

So what your saying is that if someone thinks an employee is worth 100 million dollars, they shouldnt be allowed to pay him and that an employee is not allowed to negotiate the amount he feels he is worth just because you dont like it?
Why on earth should we lose our freedom to work hard and find the American dream just because you cant?
Those big megabucks are all done by a good ol boy network. Not HR and such.
And no that is not what I said. I said they do not deserve the big bucks for taking the risks, because there is no penalty for them failing.
