Timely Hitting Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 So you want guys who are real smart and create jobs to have a cap but jig-a-boos who can dribble a ball, have 10 babies and not take care of them financially while making 100 million a year, not to have a cap.....okEntertainment is paid for buy the people. Entertainment wages are controlled by the people. You are arguing that you want Athletes to make less so the billionaire owners make even more than they are already making; that makes no sense. The funds are split around 50/50 between employee and executive in sports. CEO wages are not. CEO's, in the 70's and 80's - I believe, but could have misread this - made about 5X the average manager/etc. While the average middle class wage hasn't budged, the CEO wages have skyrocketed. That makes zero sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timely Hitting Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Only cap there should be is on taxes. you're independently employed and you don't employ anyone - sorry rockets. obviously no cap as you don't work within a corporate structure. i don't believe in earnings cap, but percentage scaling makes a lot of sense in a corporate structure.

Teddy kgb Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 most broke dicks think like this........What's better for the people of this country... Scenario #1 The top 1%, or 10,000 people, makes an average wage of $10 million per yearThe other 99%, or 990,000 people, makes an average wage of $30,000 per year Scenario 2: The top 1%, or 10,000 people, makes an average wage of $1 million per yearThe other 99%, or 990,000 people, makes an average wage of $120,000 per year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWarning Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 The latter scenario prohibits investment and growth Teddy. That's why people from other countries come here to chase the American dream. People should be rewarded for their ingenuity and risk-taking. I do think CEO's should make whatever the market will bear. The problem is when they get a golden parachute for running their business into the ground (see Yahoo).

Hangover Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 In Scenario 2 they would just make everything more expensive. Cable bill $500 month, electricity $800/month, gallon milk $10, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should be rewarded for their ingenuity and risk-taking.Bullshit.....scenario #2 ends poverty for the most part over night....People shouldn't be rewarded 100 million dollars for risk taking, 1 million is just fine and spread out the 99 million to the employee. You would see all the risk takers taking all same risk, that's how they are wired, the nitwits making 30k aren't wired that way but should be able still to not work two jobs and take city transport. Most these shit heads on welfare wouldn't do so if they could make 120k working at a ticket booth at the movie theatre, but you would rather have Tom Cruise pull 30 million per picture and the production company make a Billion? Trickle down theory works but we've never tried it because so many are worried about the Rich giving up.....slaves mentality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
