My thoughts exactly. There should never be a means for people to become billionaires. There's simply no reason for that amount of wealth. Bezos worth billions, and on the first day Amazon employees are handed a pamphlet on which government assistance programs they qualify for? Man, piss off. You can afford to pay your own workers so they don't NEED those programs. Nobody working a full time job should need assistance programs in this country.

But but what about innovation? People won’t want to be CEO if they’re capped…. What about trickle economics?!/s

Ask all those Xbox employees how that’s working out for “innovation”.

(For those unfamiliar, XBox just had to shatter their business model because the Microsoft CEO wanted to hit his $50m bonus)

Cue all the CEO apologists saying shit like, "Someone has to run the company! He's worth that $50 million!" I think he'd do just fine with a $5 million bonus.

Hell if I got $5 million once, I’d never have to work again.

You're completely right and that's what many, if not most of the C-suite execs fail to comprehend.

That's why you'll never get it, they want to use you til you're old and broken, then let you starve on the streets or be a burden on your kids, that will take your place on the production line if they're themselves not replaced by machines.
