Why is this such an unpopular take? Is it because Lemmy is largely comprised of tech bros who make too much money? I just don’t understand how people are justifying any salary above 200k, and even that’s a huge stretch.
Yeah I mean the point I’m making isn’t that Wikimedia execs are paid too much, it’s that all executives are paid to much. The workers actually create value, all an executive does is direct that value generation and claim the rewards for themselves.
IMO income below something like $200k shouldn’t be taxed at all - workers below that range are sacrificing their time (and sometimes their physical health) to earn money. Above $200k income should be taxed heavily. People who make more than that are typically doing less while earning more - what they earn is disproportionate to the amount of effort they put in.
