"Enjoy your 5% raises shonny that's good money right derre."
Trickle down economics didn't work. Many engineers on subreddit will confirm that. One of the dumbest decisions ever. They don't even want to pay taxes that'd have no impact on their way of life in order to help out society.

A socialist government would've liquidated that money and used it for reparations.
The money is there. The people that have it just don't want to pay the taxes that would make it happen and the people who have the power to make them are too invested(figuratively and literally) in those billionaires wellbeing to support a change in the status quo.
What would be pretty interesting to see is if something like 40% of the banks holding these billionaires wealth collapsed similar to 08, but then the average person who had money in the banks is made whole again whilst the multimillionaire and billionaires only get back 30%. The government buys a controlling interest in these banks(not outright nationalizing them but still able to veto risky decisions at shareholder meetings) and takes that money to pump it back into things like Healthcare, housing, social programs including reparations and child care as well as infrastructure.
Y'all really have no clue of how money works. You think they have that money just sitting in banks? People with money don't have that much liquid wealth. It's tied up in assets. Unrealized gains. Value of property and business. It's not actually cash. Cash is the worst place to have your money cause it loses value. You need your money working for you to make more. So you going to force them to sell their shares lose control of companies and businesses. Force them to sell property, etc. that's where their wealth is sitting.

its sad. something has to be done. capitalism is trash
And this is from 2017
It's probably closer to 70%-80% right now

i dont think you understand what a CEO does lol. i agree with everyone saying the wealth disparity is disgusting though
You obviously don't.This goofy is back.
"Yall are dumb. Yall didn't know rich people don't have bags of cash in their mattress?"
Everybody knows that.
I posted a Trevor Noah clip about this earlier in the thread.
I knew you couldn't think. I didn't know you couldn't read.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned that it's not that simple. However, this varies between companies. Some CEO's have it far far easier than others.
When it comes to McDonalds's case the product that has built their franchise for decades are still the main stars: Big Macs, Fries, Happy Meals, etc.
The simple rule here is you don't get rid of them. You don't change them. Easy. That's the 20% that does 90%+ of the work.
It's not like a company such as Apple/Google/Microsoft that must stay up to date with innovation. A CEO at these companies I think are far more valuable to what they do.
They got to make the big decisions about their main product, because unlike Big Mac's, you must make improvements to Microsoft Windows and people are either going to love or hate it and go to another platform - a potential customer you've lost for decades.
A tech CEO who happens to make stellar product decisions is going to be highly valuable to the company.
In comparison, McDonald's has had 4 CEO's the last 10 years, with no drop off because they already have the central products that have stood the test of time for decades.
Innovation for McDonald's is tracking new tech to save costs (like the automated restaurant in Texas(?)) and at this point outside of optimizing costs (which will mainly be your mathematicians/analysts working there anyways) to make the most amount of money, the other area that's vital is to expand your operation overseas. When it comes to product innovation, you don't really see it with them unless something else is a major mover like the new style of Chicken sandwiches, which they'll then make their own.
I'd arguably say that isn't worth that $22 mil/year (
) and people there doing more of the heavy-lifting should probably be getting paid more.

Anyone who believes the fact we out number these glutinous muhfukkas 99.99999 to 1 does not have anything and everything to do with them going out they way to fake pander to factions of society and rally us against EACH OTHER simply deserves to get bent over by these fakkits at this point 
If yall really feel a way and not ready to do what society has always inevitably done once they realized they were being collectively duped and exploited, maybe try not supporting these dikkheads?
Where do yall think they got every dime of this 8.5 trillion from in the first place?

I'm not going to fight with you over how labor intensive it is to work in agriculture other than to say there is a literal off season, there is no off season working as an employee as I have described in this thread.
you addressed none of my other points though, yes farming is hard work, i agree, but the farming you're thinking of in our society is also a product of capitalism.
growing food to feed yourself would not be the same thing we think of as gigantic agricultural operations today, once again, you my friend have capitalist brain rot. it's okay to admit, this country is meant to produce this mindset.
