Mark Goodman – huh? Actors earn their large salaries, but CEO “arroagte (sic) vast sums of profit”? You’re infected class warfare and wealth envy. A professional writer? Hmmm. Why should Kobe make millions a season when the people working at the arena selling hot dogs make minimum wage. That’s not fair, is it? Why should Opra pay herself hundreds of millions each year? Her workers don’t make that much? Is it only conservative types that you are going after?

No one is forced to work for a particular company or in a particular field. If a person believes they are under-paid, then take your job skills into the market and do better. CEOs get to their position through various channels and their bosses (the board) don’t want to pay them, they don’t have to. They are, essentially, highly paid employees who generate enormous sums of revenue.
