So how many of you AOC fans agree with this statement

There's a new disclosure requirement for public companies that now require Executive pay be compared to the median of the workers. The hope is that the market will recognize the robber barons and punish their share price.RaceBannon said:
There was Clinton era law that capped CEO pay so they went to stock options which pay better and are taxed lowerPurpleThrobber said:Billionaires are fine.
I wouldn't necessarily have a problem if there were regulations enacted limiting CEO pay to a multiple of some function of the mean employee salaries. Some of those cats are just raking in dough for having minions and not doing shit. I've met them - they aren't worth 100,000 times the wage of a line worker. They just aren't.
I don't have an issue if their rewards are commensurate with Share Price or some such measurement.
I find AOC likes to drop the 'immoral' line regularly. Eventually that just wears off.
And she best be careful with playing the morality card too often because you know her nude pics/sex with goats videos are being held in a remote server somewhere just waiting to be unleashed on the world.
That showed them
Why do people get paid so much? Because they can
That's the hope any way.
As you say, they'll figure out ways around it.

I agree playing the morality card is very risky which is why I think what she’s doing is incredibly brave. This isn’t about her political career. I think that’s something a lot of people are struggling to get with her. We always view politicians as making moves around advancing their career but she’s genuinely trying to use her platform to shift the conversation.PurpleThrobber said:Billionaires are fine.

She’s made this a conversation and it’s not going to take a lot for poor Christian conservatives to realize what she’s saying sounds awfully familiar. And while she’ll never swing them to Democrats, if she can get 5, 10 or 15 percent of them to come around on taxing the rich it goes from fringe lunatic policy to 70 plus percent of the country wanting it and you just lose elections running against things like that. -
Literally all she wants is people to contemplate that.PurpleThrobber said:

Workers wages have been stagnant for 50 years. Their productivity has sky rocketed. Profits have sky rocketed. CEO pay has sky rocketed. We call that stealing the labor of others.SFGbob said:
My problem isn't that she was making it a moral argument my strawman ass fucking Kunt of a friend. I was just asking if you agreed with it. It's immoral in my book to steal the labor of others. You being a Rat, you and your party have a long, long history supporting the stealing of labor in others. The fact that she was making some kind of moral argument isn't what bothered me.HHusky said:It's a sophomoric statement, blob. Of course, you couch your economic arguments as moral arguments too, so you're just the opposite side of the same counterfeit coin.
See my post above regarding CEO/Executive pay. It's almost reached robber baron/coal miner multiples. Kind of ridiculous. As the pie grows, it should be shared pro-rata.
Fuck, I sound like a communist. Fuck me. And fuck AOC's tits for making me even contemplate that.
If she'd just get her teeth fixed.... -

The disclosure requirement is the perfect enscapulation of the failures of modern liberalism. As if simply making public the pay disparity would create a change instead of doing actual politics and using political power to change it. But Democrats since Carter have been terrified of actually wielding state power for their constituents benefit.PurpleThrobber said:

But it looks like that’s starting to change at least.

Maybe. I’ve been wrong before and I’ll be wrong again. We’ll see.

The public should stop paying the disparity. That’s how change happens.HardlyClothed said:

She’s selling envy, trying to stoke the Mob. nothing more.

I'm hearing it was an increase in minimum wage that caused businesses use of technology. Now you are saying technology has been increasing business productivity for years?MikeDamone said:

Workers productively didn’t skyrocket. The productivity of technology skyrocketed. Workerrs, including CEOS, are still subject to supply and demand.
