    Fair enough but the “we don’t have the money” part is what doesn’t really make sense. CEO compensation, however egregious, is still a very small part of total payroll.

        The board of directors is not on payroll, they’re the owners, they get dividends or can sell part of the actions.

      It’s not meant to be taken literally, it’s meant to show how ridiculously inverted the current distribution of wealth and resources is in virtually all major US industries. The point is that the money is there. It’s just getting sucked up to the top.
