What is the value of a CEO vs that of Miley Cyrus (Hanna Montana)

Professional Sports makes huge profits.
The guy bouncing a ball's salary compared to the security guard or vending gal at the Ford center.
Not every CEO is corrupt.
A corporation needs executive management.
Is it not up to what the market will pay and what that company will pay?
Silly.
Isolated.
Examples.

No, it should NOT be what the market will pay. Companies don't run on the management and paper shuffling of capital alone. It also requires LABOR. When the labor is short-changed with low wages and no benefits, while capital and their cronies make hundreds of millions of dollars, platitudes about what, "the market will pay," just doesn't compute.

Yes, actors and basketball players are overpaid. But, usually, there are not tens of thousands of people beneath them being exploited that brings their wealth to fruition. (There are exceptions and I'm going to write about that soon.)

I.
Guess.
That's.
All.
For.
Now.

Just messing with you. You have an interesting posting style.
