Read what I wrote: "paying their workers less than the workers earn for their companies"

That's basically just the definition of "profit", and billionaires are pretty much exclusively created by demonstrating the ability to create profitable companies.

I’m going to push back just a little here… While I agree that owners should not be making 600x what any employee makes, the company needs to make some profit off the employees to continue to grow/adapt/invest. But generally speaking, you point is valid.

  1. A billion dollars is a lot more than 600x what most people make; it's 1000x a million dollars. A "six figure" salary or bonus is only 1/100 of 1% of a billion dollars.

    This is just math, and I think most of what I've put in this thread is only stating simple truths without explicit judgment...
