Do you think there should be caps on how much profit can be taken by CEOs etc of big companies?
Do you think that CEOs should be legally required to give any profits beyond a certain limit either back to their staff in the form of a wage raise, or into the community in general (i.e give it to charity, start their own charitable organization with the extra money, something like that). Do you think that would be a good idea? See pic related.
pol believes that the rich should get all the money
they just elected a billionaire globalist elite ffs
Hey I found a picture of you OP.
I genuinely don't believe CEO's should make as much money as they do but I'm not sure how it should be allocated, people act as if CEO's making 50x what the average earner makes sense and that reducing it to say 10x would make the job unattractive or not commensurate to the amount of work they do.

>wages fall, profits rise

How about we address the actual source of the problem? That is, globalism.
But actually there are a lot of people here who wanted Trump to really "drain the swamp"
Obviously, like any salesman, he is now back-peddling on his promises - but people liked Trump for his promises, so it's by his original promises we can judge the views of those who supported him in the election campaign, really, not his actual actions.
Trump voters wanted someone who would drain the swamp; if Trump doesn't do that it doesn't mean everyone that voted for him is happy about it. Sup Forums has always been anti-establishment.
Yes to both of these things OP.
no, fuck off commie
But that's actually a good question though... I agree with a minimum wage, why not a maximum one? We live in a world of finite resources, if we're going to make some legal attempts to balance a system, why not make it genuinely competitive and balanced?
By "balanced" I do not mean "all are equal". I mean balanced like you'd balance any system (a game, a sport, any system with rules) in order to make it properly competitive, and properly enjoyable.
...
A maximum wage is utterly retarded, why don't you just raise taxes on ridiculous high wages, not ban it outright.
...because tax goes to the government, and a law for within companies that state their extra profits have to be realized in the form of wage raises or direct charitable action will see that money actually help people more quickly and genuinely than tax money that goes to fund state wars and other bullshit?
And Trump did this by appointing big businessmen to be elected officials?
look, i'm a commie from lefty pol and i pretend i have a discussion with my friends in here, look!!!
typical retarded leaf libcuck
THE SWAMP IS NOT EXPERIENCED BUSINESSMEN
look this is a healthy discussion, never mind it is all almost scripted!!!

Dude that point is literally proving that by reverse image searching, that pic is shown to be of people fleeing once communism fell; i.e. they are fleeing political upheaval and the END of communism - they are not feeling communism itself. What's more, they are fleeing to get to Cuba; a communist country.
No.
But only if you let me fix the monetary policy so people have enough purchasing power to buy the goods and services they need and want.
You're suggesting a fiscal policy correction.
Fiscal policy is pointless if you don't also adjust monetary policy.
I think this just highlights how moronic Trump voters are in that case. I was under the impression, that "the establishment" was elected officials carrying out the interest of business - while Dems would've wanted to do something about these companies directly (or said they would), Reps would typically support a reduction of the size of the elected officials.
But Reps are so braindead, they think that the elected officials are just benevolent and aren't carrying out the interest of the most powerful members of society.
I'm not an ML, but Albania was always poor and is still a shithole. There was no famine in Albania under "communism" though.
B.B.B.UT WHY DID COMMUNISM FELL? HADNT YOU ALREADY SIEZED THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION?
COULD THOSE PEOPLE HAVE LEFT WHILE COMMUNISM WAS STILL IN PLACE? NO? BECAUSE THEY COULDNT OR BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DIDNT LET THEM???
that is a quite burgoise point of view, imo.
opinion = discarded
no you filthy commie
not an argument
wrong.

top keks continue to sage those communist dirt bags

I guess you didn't read what the Albanian user had to say about in the fucking cap. Commie shithole IMPLODED.
didnt really bother to read all your comment but since you seem to have left, i gave you one more chance and BOOM!!!

HERE, BUY ONE OF THIS (BUR ONLY THE CUBAN MADE ONES) TO EASE YOUR WAITING UNTILL THE DAY YOUR MARKET SOCIALISM OR WHATEVER KIND OF BULLSHIT YOU ADVOCATE NOW FINALLY ARRIVES.
Already in the OP and you show your ignorance.
Where do the profits go?
Not to the CEO, retard. The CEO gets paid salary and bonuses.
So where do they go? They go to the owners of the company. Who's that? The stockholders. Usually the money is either given out as a dividend or the money is reinvested in the company as retained earnings. But that equity is ultimately the stockholder's on liquidation. After banks and preferred stockholders are paid off of course.
Who are the stockholders? If it is publicly traded, everyone who bought stock on the NYSE. If it is privately traded, then entrepreneurs and venture capitalists own the firm usually.
Where do the profits go? To my retirement account and savings as well as your retirement account and savings, provided you aren't retarded with money.
Maybe it will change your ignorant perspective a little bit.
>% of GDP
Dropped.
Fucking idiot.
Profit is what is left over after ALL expenses. One of the biggest reasons profits in the US have been up during the "slowest recovery in US history" ( we've probably still been in recession for much of this "recovery" but we'd never know because of the slight of hand the govt uses with it's economic reporting) is that a massive portion of typical expenses are missing or greatly reduced from many large corporations.
Hundreds of not thousands of large corporations have either slowed their growth, stopped it all together or contracted in size.When large corporations do this they can add millions or billions to their profit. Just look at all the big corporations that have closed locations, laid off employees or stopped hiring.
These companies are looking to stay as competitive as possible while waiting for the economy to turn so they can dump these profits into growth.
So no, we shouldn't have the government step in and take money from anyone. Especially when those calling for it have no idea how to read a P&L statement.
WELL HELLO, LITTLE MARKET CAPITALIST.
READY FOR A NIGGER HATE THREAD?
That is not to say, many times the CEO does own a significant amount of stock in the company. The stockholders elect the CEO to represent their interests, hence they frequently give bonuses and raises to incentivize good behavior and punish shirking.
Obviously this can be corrupted (see Enron). In many industries CEOs get bonuses they don't deserve.
Nonetheless, corruption is far lower in the democratic process of corporations than the "democratic" process of unions. Honestly unions should take dues and put them into stock of the employer. But they are stupid, crime ridden, and corrupt. Moreso than corporations.
WE COMMUNISTS HATE NIGGERS
But the company is not genuinely publicly owned, almost never - as you say.
> many times the CEO does own a significant amount of stock in the company
> If it is privately traded, then entrepreneurs and venture capitalists own the firm usually.
> If it is publicly traded, everyone who bought stock on the NYSE = which is largely entrepreneurs and venture capitalists
>WE COMMUNISTS HATE NIGGERS
Even niggers hate niggers.
