Re: Excess pay?

Pay should be based on the importance for getting the Country back on its feet. Big eared football pundits should earn less than trained nurses.

Yep, a free society, is tricky, as highlighted at the moment.

I hadn't considered that.

Re: Excess pay?

Yes, a cap should be in place, as it wouldn’t matter anyway to the top execs as they have massive bonuses as well
We live in a crazy society where top people can earn big money
Yet the carer who looks after your loved one, feeds them, dresses them and takes them to the toilet on a 12 hour shift, for£8.72 an hour...

It doesn't follow that it'll work that way at all. It's la-la land stuff, like the idea of a universal income .... and all any 'ceiling' does is stifle the really ambitious.
They'd do better to hunt down and catch high earner tax dodgers.
Indeed .....

It comes down to financial added value. A competent CEO will earn big bucks for the business that employed him or increasingly her whereas the carer is a financial cost to the business that employs him or her.

Sadly this is true. A nurse who puts his or her life at risk treating patients doesn't earn any revenue for the NHS, so will never receive a good wage in return. Highly paid footballers earn a lot of dosh for their club.

I don't agree with it but that's how it is.

Sadly, yes, but what a crazy world we live in when we have to put values on people’s lives
