Reply to comment by sillychillly in CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978: CEOs were paid 399 times as much as a typical worker in 2021 by sillychillly

Lots of CEOs are paid $1 annually. Just one example of how the rich will always be able to pay accountants to figure out loopholes while the poor suffer.

My point is, that is very difficult to do. Probably by design. You can try to put some sort of limit on pay and to accommodate for all compensation, but you will never be successful. People make careers out of figuring out how to circumvent those types of rules.
