The argument about executive pay versus line worker pay is just a sad attempt by the Democratic Party to play identity politics. The reason that executives are paid more is that executive talent is in demand, while supply for line workers is more in line for demand. You've got to pay for talent.
This is the gripe I heard about Sarah Palin all through the campaign. All of the lefties screeched, "You wouldn't want an auto mechanic to operate on YOUR brain!" and allegorized that to Sarah Palin running the country. To be honest, I want competent leadership for our major corporations. In fact, it should be the best leadership talent and experience corporate cash can buy.
