1. La Explosión de la Brecha Salarial entre Ejecutivos y Empleados.
Los datos históricos revelan un crecimiento desproporcionado en la compensación de los directivos, pasando de una relación de 20 a 1 en la década de 1960 a cifras que superan los 300 a 1 en la actualidad.
- In 1965, the ceo of an average large public company earned about twenty times as much as a front-line worker. Today, that figure is 278 times. This is more than income inequality. This is a growing tragedy infecting our society.
- The average ceo now makes 300 times their average worker. Thats not just a wage gap, thats a moral eclipse. We need to make sure this level of inequality is an aberration, a passing shadow, not the permanent condition of our economy.
- At the 100 lowest-wage u.s. Companies, the average ceo now makes 632 times more than a typical worker. The more corporate greed drives inequality, the more important it becomes to have unions backing workers.
2. El Estancamiento del Salario Mínimo y la Crisis del Costo de Vida.
Mientras las ganancias corporativas y los bonos ejecutivos alcanzan niveles récord, el salario mínimo federal permanece congelado, erosionando el poder adquisitivo de la clase trabajadora.
- No ceo should earn 20, 40 or 60 million a year when the federal minimum wage has been 7.25 an hour since 2009. Whenever we try to get the rich to pay higher taxes on their millions, they call it communism.
- People struggle to understand why the cost of living is becoming more and more unobtainable for the working class. On average, a ceo will make over 200 times what the median worker makes per year, and this inequality gap has been increasing for decades.
- The gap between minimum wage and minimum quality to have a reasonable living standard is growing. This is why income inequality is the main issue.
3. Propuestas de Reforma: Topes Salariales y Justicia Fiscal.
Diversos sectores proponen vincular legalmente el salario de los altos mandos con el de sus empleados menos remunerados y eliminar los incentivos fiscales para empresas con brechas extremas.
- Ceo salaries and stock perks should be limited to 10 times their lowest-paid employees. Extreme income inequality is going to take down civilization.
- One way to instantly fix income inequality and promote healthier capitalism tether caps on ceo pay to the lowest paid worker at any us company. Another one, make tie tax incentives to wages.
- This can be fixed with the tax code. Just tax away executive income that is in excess of a multiple say 50x of average worker income. And fixing this would do more to address income inequality than any other single change.
4. Consecuencias Sociales y el Riesgo para la Estabilidad Democrática.
La concentración masiva de riqueza en manos de una élite corporativa se percibe como una amenaza sistémica que podría derivar en inestabilidad política y agitación social.
- If income inequality isnt stopped, there will be a french revolution in the us.
- Wealth inequality, exacerbated by exec salaries going up by 40 x plus while wages have been deliberately held back over decades and shareholders take ever larger profits while businesses fail to invest in infrastructure.
- The billionaires are rewriting the rules and shutting the rest of us out. This isnt just inequality. Its a coup on democracy, rights, and the future of work.
5. El Papel de la Codicia Corporativa y el Bienestar Público.
El informe destaca cómo las empresas priorizan las recompras de acciones y los dividendos sobre el pago de salarios dignos, lo que a menudo resulta en que el estado deba subsidiar a trabajadores empobrecidos.
- Why does the working poor need government handouts? because we pay ceos to much.
- Corporations underpaying workers who then rely on the government is the real problem. Corporate welfare is the only welfare everyone should be blaming.
- If they want us to do capitalism they need us to have disposable income to buy their stuff. Or, they could keep ramping up inequality. Historically, not worked well.
