"Hey dad, what's a 'pyramid scheme'?"

 

But because the Mainstream Media (all leftists and Democrat fellators) LOVE socialism, they totally support these policies--and "Democrat Socialists of America," and the Dem party.

And I totally get it:  Wealthy, connected members of corporate boards are perfectly fine with voting to give the CEO a salary of $30 million a year, plus stock options.  After all, all the other trendy companies are paying that, eh?  And since the boards aren't giving away their own money, they don't care.  But do they really believe someone just as talented and qualified wouldn't take the job for a third of that-- $10 mill a year?  

I don't think that ever enters their mind.  Instead they truly believe that their choice for the new CEO is the absolute best person available--because the board members are great and only choose the best, eh?  So whatever salary it takes is absolutely, totally fine, eh?

Sixth-grader: "If you people would just limit your compensation packages to, say, $5 mill a year, none of the candidates would tell you to go pound sand, right?  But because the outrageously high salary isn't coming out of your pockets, you don't care.  So we end up enriching the handful of lucky beneficiaries. 

Ahhh, "Not my problem," y'say.  Well except...in case you didn't notice, voters in NYC just elected a Muslim member of the Democratic Socialists of America as mayor.  Seattle elected a DSA member.  Yeah, obviously just two cities, but if you look at the number of DSA demonstrators all across the country, you'll realize which way the trend line points.

Of course there's no point in pointing this out, because the fat cats who sit on corporate boards will continue to offer CEOs $30 million a year or so.  They'll never change, even if the DSA was running half the cities in the country.
