I completely agree. If we look at the compensation growth in the last 50 years, I think we can see that “tyranny of the few” has been the predominant force in the U.S. and things have been far, far out of balance.

Worker pay has been extremely stagnant while c-suite pay has skyrocketed to over 300x the worker pay.

This wouldn’t be so problematic if worker pay was not being pushed below livable wages. The presence of unions could balance things a bit.
