Hi, guys. I've actually never been on this board before and had some questions about CEO's, executives, wage gaps, and some other things. I'm basically business-retarded. But that's why I'm trying to learn.
1. People say .1% own 99% of the wealth in America, is that true?
2. People like to bring up how CEO's make several hundred times more than their labor workers, does any of the CEO's earnings go into paying for the company, it's employee's earnings, etc? If so, how much roughly?
3. What do you think of the picture?

1% is able to be 1% because collusion with the government. Don't worry more government (Bernie) will surely solve government corruption.
CEO's make 100x more than workers because the value they add to the company is worth that much to the company. If it weren't they wouldn't be getting paid that much. Also labor wages are held down by minimum wage, but I wont' expect you to understand that. Shiggy diggy
I think providing people indiscriminate welfare is the best way to make sure less people contribute to society. Charity is great because they look at individuals and not "you meet x criteria to receive y benefits, here you go and congratulations!"

Thats the theory, but in practice your compensation is all about negotiation, whether you're a janitor or a CEO. A janitor just has no leeway whereas a CEO, with some trackrecord (meaning at least not making things worse) has lots.

What the fuck am I reading?

People who are already wealthy can use that wealth to get favorable legislation passed. Getting an astronomical ROI and also stomps out competition.

But this is an inevitable part of the system. You can't just ask the insanely wealthy to stop buying favors from the state, you have to use the state against them.

The state shouldn't be involved at all. Either way its pandering to one special interest or the other.
All the state should be doing is national defense and protecting individual rights. Just my opinion, you don't have to agree with me.

The problem is that this simply doesn't work. A libertarian society is impossible under capitalism.

Companies overpay for CEO "talent" like niggers overpay for bling and hipsters overpay for coffee.

socialism in a world with the possibility of social mobility is absolutely retarded
