    Sure I am. If employees made $90/hr the ratio would be significantly improved. It’s not the ratio that’s the actual problem here. You get that right?

      That’s just bringing down the top without helping anyone. Need to lift from the bottom instead

      What in the fuck does “lifting from the bottom” mean to you if raising employee wages isn’t it.

      Lift from the bottom, pull from the top. The ratio is the actual problem here. You get that right?

        They were talking about reducing ceo pay, which who cares? It’s the workers that need the boost. Go back to reddit you jerk

            You need some reading lessons. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP?

            THE GUY SAID CEO PAY IS TOO HIGH. WHO GIVES A FUCK AS LONG AS WORKERS EARN ENOUGH MONEY?

                Oh my fucking God. What do you think we are talking about here?

                Guy said lower ceo pay to increase the ratio.

                Pay ceo 400,000, workers wages stay the same. How the fuck does that help?

                Pay ceo 15 million and pay workers 485,000. Same ratio. Now we got somewhere.

                People who want to enforce equality by imposing a ceiling are stupid. Impose equality by raising the floor. Who gives a fuck about the ceiling?

                  Haha what the fuck do you think we’re talking about here? Nobody said lower CEO pay or anything about a ceiling, we’re talking about lessening the pay gap by enforcing a ratio. If CEOs want to make huge wages they need to pay employees more. This is grade school math dude.

                  Obviously you’re trolling and I’m just feeding it, but on the small chance that you’re not… Well shit man, maybe don’t dig yourself into stances so strongly if you can’t do basic math?

                    Dude scroll up. Unless buddy edited the post, this entire response thread was a reply calling for reducing ceo pay to fix the ratio. Which I maintain, despite all the name calling, doesn’t fucking help anything at all
