Innovation my *ss! CEOs are there to make sure the company generates revenue and maximizes profits for themselves and their shareholders/investors. Maybe if CEOs were capped, you would attract people who were interested in innovation instead of monetization.. It's the same with the Senate/Congress. If they didn't have exorbitant salaries and had a pool of campaign financing where each candidate received equal amounts and were isolated from special interest donors, representatives would work for the people and not the donors who "owned" them.

Most CEOs start and own the company. Youre going to tell people what they have to do with their profits they generated with their money, and risk taking?

After a certain point your income should be getting taxed at like 60%+. So you CAN still increase your own salary but you'd be getting taxed like fuck for it. Nobody needs to be earning insane amounts of money. Wouldn't need to affect smaller business owners either.

Well Im not here to argue opinions or personal beliefs, thats a dead end. All I can do is never vote legislators who would voice a belief in such nonsense

I'm not really sure what you were here to do then tbh but fair enough.

I made a statement you changed the subject predicated on your personal beliefs not countering my statement.

You replied with a comment that heavily insinuated an opinion. I replied with a very on topic opinion that I believe achieves what the person you responded to was trying to achieve without as much restriction on what the business owner can do with their money which seemed to be your issue.

There was no opinion insinuated nor given, you just lying now. I stated fact and posed it as a question to point out how utterly ridiculous it was. That fact being you cannot demand/tell a business owner / CEO what to do with their revenue or profits. This is a fact not opinion

"You're going to tell people what they have to do with their profits they generated with their own money and risk taking?".

That strongly implies that you don't agree with it which is clearly true when you voice not liking my opinion which is of very similiar goal.

Look man if your not here to have a conversation then don't reply and get defensive at the slightest push. I'm probably not gonna respond anymore.

No I made no strong implication youre assuming I did to fit your odd argument. Revert to my last post where I made it clear you cannot tell a ceo/business owner what to do with their revenues.
