Augustus the fatass from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory

what is a reasonable salary to you

Your charicature of the relationship between a CEO and his worker is very poor

six figures

depends on the size of the company

the pay should depend on the skill of the job

you are wrong

im very very right

pay is determined by many things and high salaries for business creators is necessary to incentivize entrepreneurship

they are paid more in part because they have assumed risk

often business owners earn less per hour than their employees

that's true for small businesses

and there are many instances where workers are paid fairly, and business owners receive a fair salary

but all too often, especially when we're talking about large corporations

way too much of the surplus value congregates to the top of the hierarchy

which is where exploitation lies

the labour force is not paid their fair share of the surplus value -they- generate

I agree that capitalism is vuknerable to corruption and exploitation. However, I do not have much sympathy for the retail worker who makes minimum wage while his company's executives make much more.

Nobody has lost in that scenario

your obsession with "justice" is foolish

i think the executive deserves more due to the skill it takes to do that job, but executives are usually overpaid with money that the labour force created

who are you to decide that

and who gives a fuck

there is inefficiency in every system

who is the executive to live off of money he or she didnt generate lmao

so you're jealous or something?

what?

why do you care if you have a good enough wage?

what a weird accusation

all too often wages simply arent good enough

and besides, its an injustice of exploitation

your idea that there is a specific amount of money each person deserves and that any receipt beyond that is injustice is ridiculous

the worker isn't receiving their share of the surplus value they create

> *Why do you care if you have a good enough wage*

***So you can live without massive debt***

buddy

exactly

so you can live without debt, without worrying about your next meal, rent, and so on

people live on the breadline

and beyond that, they simply shouldn't be exploited

Look, I can't tell you that the system works as it is because it doesn't
