I think they’re saying it’s an issue specifically in reference to how employee wages have grown in comparison. If we look at previous decades, you’ll see that CEO and other executive level pay has increased substantially, and has absolutely left employee pay in the dust. That isn’t to say people shouldn’t be paid more for a good or important job, but we should probably be keeping a watch to ensure those with plenty don’t take even more from those with little. And if those at the top are taking more, historically, than their fair share, then that needs brought in line.

This is a very good response. Thanks for writing.
