I think you should be rewarded for the value that you create. And that value is judged by a free market system.

Create a lot of value for society get a lot of reward.

In some hypothetical free-market fantasy, I'm sure you're correct, but in the real world, CEOs vote themselves millions of dollars worth of pay packets, even when they are doing poorly.

It's pretty telling how many ex banking/housing/construction CEOs took home tens of millions in renumeration despite their company filing for bankruptcy protection.

So yes, in a free-market fantasy land I agree with you, but America (and most of the west) is unfairly skewed because the CEOs' reward has very little to do with the CEO's effectiveness and a lot more to do with how good they are at persuading the entire board to vote themselves pay rises.
