Should There be a Limit on CEO Pay

This has been a debate topic for quite some time now however I'm not sure where I stand on this. Part of me thinks that if I'm responsible for steering a company and my direction allowed for millions to be made then I would be justified in getting paid millions as well. This I don't have an issue with. My issue resides from the ratio between what the company's average worker makes vs. the guy at the top. If the CEO can take home 12 million in a year why is the average worker of the company making just over minimum wage?

My suggestion is not to regulate the amount of money a CEO can make but to regulate how much of a ratio difference a company can have between it's lowest and highest paid employees. What this would do in effect is distribute company profits in a different manner. If you want to pay your CEO millions then your average employees should be doing good as well. The CEO may steer the boat but the workers keep it moving and maintain it!

What we have now is eventually going to end up with haves and have nots. The lack of wealth distribution in this country is ridiculous and unless you are in the club or born into it you will be lucky to ever be a part of it. Now I know what you are thinking and before you call me a socialist I'm not suggesting that we take from the wealthy and give to the poor. I'm suggesting that if you are a part of a company that is doing well enough for the head guy to take home millions there shouldn't be employees working for it that need food stamps from the government to get by!

No you are smelling your self, failure to answer the question

A) Do you accept that tax revenue increased as a result of the tax cuts imposed by conservative president Ronald Regan.

B) Find me one example of Socialism of Communism working in full and I will admit that I am wrong and all the rest

I'm not answering anything until you give me those damned sources I've been asking for since yesterday.

You moron, I never asked about that. You filled four pages with crap no one asked about. Sources for this:

With the rest of the money they usually do 2 things,

  1. Invest, they will invest it into factories, into workers, into other companies.
  2. They save it in a bank (kinda of an investment in a way, true) But the banks will then go on to loan out to other people. Some rich some poor. For small start up business or to go to improvements to their home. Or for a college fund.

Shag off, I've asked you for sources nearly ten times since you posted your first post on this thread. You can't follow a single task, I'm out.
