More realistically one should think about wether a boss really is doing so much more and important work than the clerk at the counter so that the boss deserves to earn 500 times as much per hour.
as long as a boss does not show up with a cure to cancer or saves the world from war, or cleans the atmopshere from greenhouse gas and brings the biosphere in order, I would say: no.
there were times when the relation of wages between top and bottom where in the range of factors in the 20s. Which is more realisrtic, I think. What is being done today, simply is madness. It happened becasue the law of the jungle took over.
Maybe I need to deal with a world gone insane and now being driven by the law of the jungle, but neither must I call that a good world, nor must I tolerate the conditions and not fight for improvements - if not for myself, than at least for our children.
the greater the polarisation within a society or civilisation, the more social tensions and growing pressure, the more potential for conflict, rebellion of the slaves, revolution - and in the end, war and/or civil war. It is last but not least in the interests of the richer ones not to allow things detoriating too far. He who claims all food on the table just for himself and his clan, sooner or later ends with a poison pill in his Martini.
How many Rolls Ropyce can you drive simultaneously? In how many palaces can you live at the same time without turning red? How many zeroes on your banking account before you become dizzy? When is enough actually
enough?
