I think that CEOs making millions a year is stupid but I think that salaries up to a million aren't unfair at all. Some of these CEOs and corporate guys making hundreds of thousands a year deserve it because they can do shit that you can't. You think you are a good business person, you think you are a good worker, you think you can turn a company around but you can't. They can, and that's why they are rewarded. Some people can make an entire division work harder and have a positive attitude just by being there (their personality and work ethic are that strong and infectious).
I know that this isn't the case in every company but it is in many. I see nothing wrong with paying someone who can single handedly bring amazing profits and work ethics to a company that was otherwise not doing that well.
I'm sure all of you think I'm bullshitting but it's the truth. There is such a thing as miracle workers out there and many of them are CEOs and higher ups that deserve it. Guys who don't crumple under pressure. Women who make decisions based on their judgment and knowledge. PEOPLE who make DECISIONS in general are already ahead of the game. People who can be put in a situation and all of a sudden work is being done, done well, and being done on time. These are invaluable assets to a company and a large majority of the workforce simply can't do this shit.
