When people talk about the huge pay discrepancy between CEO's and blue-collar workers, more often than not they are referring to companies like McDonald's and Walmart. While I agree that there needs to be a certain minimum wage for workers at those kinds of companies, I definitely don't think there is anything wrong with a CEO there getting paid much more than the worker....one is flipping burgers, the other is developing and implementing corporate and fiscal strategy....two totally different skill sets.

I'm referring to cases such as detailed below:

The fact is I believe most CEO pay is not market driven, but rather driven by agreements amongst CEOs themselves. Graveyards are full of indispensable men, none of these people are worth the money they are paid, especially considering it's done on the backs of the workers.
This is clearly wage theft and your pie in the sky, RAH RAH RAH I can make it in America A/B/C argument is naïve as hell.
