> There's nothing inherently being wrong with a billionare
I disagree. The amount of money that a person can effectively use (or need) during their lifetime is likely to be less than half a billion. The people who have any kind of social conscience would reach their desired amount of wealth and wouldn't want to continue accumulating it as they know it's purely at the expense of other people and invariably the rich person has an extreme advantage in any negotiations. For someone to reach half a billion and then continue to exploit others to build their wealth higher and higher is clearly some kind of sociopath. Therefore, having a billion dollars is a clear sign that millions of people have been exploited by that billionaire.
> I think having stronger employee rights such that a company's leadership can't increase their own compensation disproportionately to that of the average employee
I like that idea, but it would need a way to count non-income benefits too. Also, using a mean average can be greatly skewed by the CEO's package, so maybe a median average would be more suitable.
