I was just thinking about this. Ideally, the median and mean salaries should account for added value but not vary so much as to make inequality unbearable. Having CEOs paid 100 or 200 or even 1000 times more than other employees is bad for everyone in the long run. It leads to so much inequality that people end up tearing each other appart, looking for culprits (immigrants, strangers, neighbouring countries, etc). Having a CEO paid more than others is fine as long as everyone can benefit from the added value, not just a few.
