> Probably because a lot of people here are CEOs (or hope to become one)

I earn a bit above median and have no aspirations even for a lower management position.

I see this stuff and to me it seems like either jealousy or white-knighting. A lot of people protesting these CEO pays seem to want to see the rich make less much more so than they actually want the lower class to make more. And the "it will not end well for the rich" polemic just confirms that assumption to me.
