tl;dr I am so tired of this stupid idea, it ignores the simple fact of work. Not all work is equal as not all people are of equal ability.
It is damn easy to declare someone is underpaid or overpaid. Especially when you don't have to write the check. Far too many assume they can do the job of the over paid because they truly understand all the aspects of the job.
Sports stars, movie stars, state leadership positions, and more, all follow the same trend. So what is your point exactly? Seriously go look up what some county managers make and get back to me, here is a hint, it is not uncommon for many to make over a hundred thousand and quite a few approach a quarter million or more and you can damn well bet there are people working in your local government earning minimum wage. Why aren't people here bitching about overpaying government employees? Upper admin in any government is big bucks but that school cafeteria worker certainly isn't seeing a fair share are they?
As in, all work is not equal nor does it deserve equal pay. Never has, never will. Would you accept the same pay especially if it had to be lowered to insure the receptionist earns similar to you? What about the cafeteria worker? Yes I am going there. Why not. If we are going to declare a CEO makes to much then we cannot stop there after all we would be hypocritical. If anything the owners, be it shareholders or individuals, decide what is paid our and theoretically could take every dollar after what was decided as fair compensation was achieved
It is not a stupid idea when people work and are below the surviving threshold even if they have multiple jobs. Something's wrong but it's hard to see from your vantage point. And let me remind you that the lower one gets paid the harder and ass busting the work is.
