As shown by the covid payments. $900 a year is a lot of money to a lot of folks.
Heck annual social security average is 24k a year, so you are talking about nearly 4% more money for just those people alone.

So you decide: 20,000 companies running with a CEO being paid like an average person. And every citizen gets $500 in their account per year.
Edit: its not just a CEO but the C suite. 20,000 running without a C suite.
In these contrived scenarios people will always choose the anti-CEO scenario.
You could restructure your hypothetical scenario such that the money was lit on fire instead of being paid to executives and you’d still find support from people who are just angry at executives getting paid a lot.
Just dont discount what several hundred bucks means to way too many people in such a prosperous country.

Sure.. but the real disposable income has increased by a decent amount over the years. Just in the last 10 years (including covid) the real disposable income has increased by over 20%.
