But fabs, The things that you and Classicvette63 have listed, are at the heart of why
Capitalism is such a great system.
If these Companies and/or Sports teams over due their "Top People's" salaries/compensations, then they will be hurting themselves. Causing their "Businesses" to be unprofitable, and leading to their own failure(s).
It is a "Checks & Balances" type of system. It is "Self correcting".
That is the true beauty of Capitalism.....If it is left to "Self Correct!"
Is a local or national company doing the "Golden parachute" thing for their new CEO,CFO, or HNC?
STOP BUYING WHAT THEY ARE SELLING!
When Your local Sports team raises it's ticket prices to 2-5 times what they were, because they were willing to pay "The New Guy" $100 million....Just don't buy the tickets, sports ware, or any of the products that make them money.
Trust me when I say, that this will be the best solution to this kind of BS.
This is America.
Not (yet) the Socialist states that Obama and his kind wish it to be. We are free to earn whatever we are able to, and I for one encourage
EVERYONE to do Just that!
However!
Just because you can earn $100 million, does not mean that you
SHOULD be!...Or that you are worth it.
You take the risk, make the play, provide the service, or product that
Enough People are Willing to Pay For....Then Yes! you earned it, They payed you for it, it's yours!
We run it to trouble when we ask Government to "Step In" and "Fix It"
RIGHT NOW!
If left to it's own, a capitalistic system will self regulate.....
That isn't speculation.....That is
FACT!
We (Consumers) just have become "Spoiled" by our "I DEMAND THAT YOU GIVE IT TO ME NOW!" and "FOR FREE!" and "WITH NO CONSEQUENCES or REQUIREMENTS FROM ME!" society.
If you don't like the way someone does business, go to their competitor, and let them provide you with a "Better" product.
That is Capitalism. The old "Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door!" in a nutshell.
It isn't a perfect system, but it sure beats the
HELL! out of Socialism/Communism!
