> Redistributing 100% of these 5 executives' salary to all 2.2m workers would be a raise of... $32/year.

I don't understand why this is even brought up? Surely the line worker who failed high school can't contribute the same value as a software engineer automating away 20 line workers?

All the studies I've seen compare the highest to the lowest salaries, while a more comprehensive look across all employee positions would provide a better data set for setting pay levels.
