The typical CEO of America's largest companies and banks is now earning more than 475 times what America's average worker is paid. Fifty years ago, it was 40 times. This meteoric rise isn’t because CEO’s are “worth” it but because their boards want to give them more than the CEOs they compete with, giving the firm bragging rights on the Street and ensuring that the CEO will stay put. But this hasresulting in an escalating arm’s race. And because CEO pay is fully deductible from corporate taxes, taxpayers are subsidizing this arm’s race -- even as median household income drops. In the table below you can see the ratio of CEO pay to average workers in the U.S. compared to other countries.

Republican David Camp, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, recently proposed a way to stop this arm’s race: by not allowing corporations to deduct from their taxes CEO pay in excess of $1 million. That’s a good start. But how about going a step further and imposing an “excessive pay” surtax on corporations whose CEO pay exceeds 100 times that the average American worker?

A little critical thinking would show you, mazHur Butt, why that isn't a practical solution and hasn't been for decades.

DEPARTMENT OF OLIGARCHIES. America’s toughest policy in condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression has been to impose banking sanctions on Russia’s oligarchy – the dozen Russian businessmen personally close to Putin, such as such as billionaire Gennady Timchenko, whose Gunvor company trades most of Russia’s oil and who has major interests in gas pipe-building companies, and Arkady Rotenberg, Putin’s former judo partner, whose construction company benefited from the $50 billion Sochi Olympics. The share prices of companies associated with these billionaires have been badly hit.

America isn’t a Russian-type oligarchy, but our own billionaires are gaining huge influence. A new study by Princeton’s Martin Gilens and Northwestern University’s Benjamin Page finds that a proposed policy change with low support among America’s economic elite is rarely adopted while a proposed change they support is adopted about 45% of the time. On the other hand, when a large majority of Americans disagrees with economic elites and their organized interests, the majority usually loses. The professors’ conclusion: “When policy making is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, America's claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened.”

Do you think we're already an oligarchy?

Who is 'we'?

You remind me of a Beatles song, mazHur Butt

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob

Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo goo joob

Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (Ha ha ha! He he he! Ha ha ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied
I'm crying

Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo gooooooooooo jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba

It's deplorable that ordinary American is paid much much less than the CEO's.....this disparity is alarming considering you boast of being a civilized nation. But this shows you are pushing poverty further....

Why shouldn't he make much more?
As far as your mention of poverty. .you do understand that the poverty level here is considered doing quite well in pk.
If you want to look at a bunch of people in poverty you need to look no further than pk.

It's actually none of you business how much a CEO is paid unless you own stock in that company.
You would know that if you were intelligent.
