I never understood why someone like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos could draw billions of dollars working as CEOs or higher ups in a major company. You'd think they would share the money a bit with the other employees and those working in the warehouses and all that. I just don't think that someone like Jeff Bezos should have been making hundreds of millions a year.

I get why they get paid a lot, but sometimes they are paid way too damn high. Like with Elon Musk, why does he make so much money? Just to think, if he took a pay cut, they could increase the pay for the people working at his company, and he'd still probably be paid a ton.

I don't think a single person should ever be paid $1 billion or more. Maybe a few millions dollars or maybe up to $10-$20 mill. But it seems like so many CEOs make tons of money, when they could instead use some of that to give their hard working employees a much needed raise.

Idk, I'm rambling at this point, but what do you guys think? Do you think CEOs and others higher ups should be paid a lot less?

If someone has a good product, then of course they should be pulling in a lot of money. We run into problems when those money makers turn their employees into a slave class to make more money for themselves. Or they lower the quality of their products to make more money for themselves. Or Both.

The country needs to go back to the New Deal Era where there was a tax rate of 90% on the rich. We shouldn’t put an upper limit on income but at a certain point the majority of the income is simply hording and it should be put back into the country.

I think your title question is incomplete.

"Do you agree with CEOs making millions to billions?" ​

I don't necessarily have a problem with that; running a successful company is hard work.

However, If the question was "Do you agree with CEOs making millions to billions while people who work for the same company can't afford to pay their bills make ends meet?", then my answer would be absolutely not! I don't agree with one person building their wealth off the backs of others. If the guy at the top eats, everybody should eat.
