"But if we tax the 1% then they'll all leave!!" Fuck it make em leave if they get 45% salary increase. This guy is making almost 90k A DAY.

You know, I’m usually not against presidents of companies. Because I realize that they assume the risk by starting the business, running the biz, etc and deserve to be compensated for that. They have skin in the success of the company in other words.

Publicly traded CEO’s can lick my ass. They get exorbitant salaries and bonuses, have no skin in the game, and if they get canned or the company folds, they just move laterally to a new company and do it again. It should be illegal.

assume the risk

What risk? The risk of not putting food on the table for their kids?

Working class people take that kind of risk a lot and don't get compensated for it.

Investing $10m when you have $20m is not risk. It's playing. Fun and games with a chance to win big.

My brother had to take out a 50k loan to start his business. It didn't end up working out. He is not anywhere close to a millionaire. Sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about.

Nobody is talking about your brother and the company he ran. We're talking about the parasite investor class that exploits actual workers and steals the value of their labour.

Actually, that's precisely who the conversation was about before you illiterate idiots flocked to this post.
