The Monday editorial, “CEOs and Regular Joes” used some poor analogies in support of the decades long rise in salaries of CEOs, while also giving little mention to how this seems to also coincide with stagnant wages across the country.
To make the comparison of superstar pay of CEOS to athletes misses the fact that athletes can demonstrate their worth in competition better than in business, where salary promotions can be much more arbitrary.
To use LeBron James as your bases for determining skill sets shows the lack of understanding of how rare it is to have a player that size, speed, coordination and skill set. You will find many people who can run a Fortune 500 company before you will find the next LeBron James.
By the way, I despise LeBron James.
