As progressives know very well, the so-called “job creators” who build and operate companies, are the most privileged and pampered people in the world. While collecting sickeningly large paychecks, these executives and entrepreneurs live lives of luxury, while the people beneath them do all the real work. Watching them on television, all they ever seem to do is give speeches, have meetings, go to fancy restaurants and play golf. Why should people who live such leisurely lives be rewarded with such obscene amounts of money?
While hundreds of lower-level employees, including many on the minimum wage, do real work, corporate executives are most likely sitting back and relaxing and watching the money role in. A typical day for a corporate CEO probably consists of the following:
05:30 – Wake up, take a vitamin C infused shower and put on your custom tailored suit and million dollar Swiss watch
06:00 – Head to the dining room for a breakfast prepared by your very own chef and served by your butler
06:30 – Kiss your trophy wife goodbye and head to work in a private car driven by your very own chauffeurÂ
07:00 – Get the elevator to your your luxury office in a shiny high rise building, as hundreds of admiring employees smile and greet you
07:30 – Have your secretary bring you a coffee while you relax and respond to emails
08:30 – Have a meeting, where you discuss cool business things and look important
10:00 – Your secretary reminds you of a lunch meeting at a fancy restaurant
12:00 – Discuss business over lobster and caviar at a five Michelin star restaurant
13:00 – Join your corporate pals for a game of golf where you discuss more business and count your money
17:00 – Make some telephone calls and look busy
18:00 – Head home to your mansion and your beautiful wife
See why progressives are so envious of this lifestyle and outraged at the injustice of capitalism? Corporate executives and businessmen get to enjoy a life of leisure and comfort while earning millions of dollars! How is that fair?? How come I don’t get to enjoy this lifestyle?? If they get to have this then everyone else should too! That’s fairness! This is why we need communism where everything is equal. Then I and others won’t have to feel inadequate and rotten about ourselves. It’s time to make the economy fair and equal once and for all so that we can all enjoy the lives we deserve, not just a few at the top!
It’s disgusting how the corporate ladder has been cut short for people of color, womyn, transgenders, and Polynesians.
Why can’t we ALL be CEOs? Why does there need to be a system of hierarchy at all within a company?
That would be a lot fairer.
It’s no surprise that the greedy white male CEO in the article likes to boil alive lobsters – cruelty is their stock-in-trade!
So true. It would be so much better if all these industries were run by government departments with diversity quotas.
Yes of course – and instead of torturing lobsters a government canteen with delicious tofu for lunch.
I hate how lobsters squeak when the water boils
Lobsters are almost as intelligent as cockroaches – that anyone could be so brutal as to throw these gentle creatures into boiling water is beyond belief.
Why do we need a hierarchy within a company? Corporations are like people, they need a brain that manages everything, and an asshole to clear the shit.
A couple of those guys on the golf course are trending toward obesity. And if you have to count your money, are you really rich?
Bill Gates, who counts his money daily, looks mentally ill, and suffers from multiple other pathologies.
Least not forget how those guys got their jobs.

Michelin is one to three stars, bud…they don’t just serve “lobster” like that. You’re going to get a prix-fixe menu or the chef’s menu, which will be a number of courses. The food looks like an art exhibit. In the US, you would only find a 3-star restaurant in NYC, Chicago, or SFO. Michelin only rates there and DC but DC does not have a 3-star rated establishment yet.
It’s also worth noting that these evil corporate CEO’s give a bad rap to our virtuous leaders that live similar life styles but have pure motivations like all our hollywood and media elites. These are people who deserve the lifestyle because they do wonderful things for others like tell them how bad they are, and how they should do nice things for others, and what is the correct way to think.
Exactly – businessmen are bad and greedy, but Hollywood actors, celebrities, athletes and politicians are good and wholesome and deserve every penny that they have.
It depends. While Big Oil executives are extremely bad, Elon Musk, for example, is nearly a saint and has to be rewarded by massive tax breaks.
That’s true, there are exceptions, but you have to have semi-celebrity status or be accredited by the media in order to be liked by progressives as an executive. If you’re some unknown businessman without media or political connections, then you’re the scum of the earth.
You have to make products for Hollywood celebrities so that they can claim how environmentally conscious and virtuous they are. Then you are a “good” capitalist and should have your company propped up by massive tax breaks and government subsidies. Also, it is Hollywood celebrities, well-versed in science and technology, who decide which products are good for environment.
Private-sector executive pay is based on meritorious service. This explains why corporate executives never sleep or watch porn at work. On the other hand, government workers in each of the 33 layers of bureaucracy are glued to their screens watching porn (always with various lubricants nearby and both hands hidden under desks); often due to boredom while their supervisors sleep. Academics and researchers from Max Weber on down have proven these well-known phenomena.
So true. Executives NEVER get rewarded with golden parachutes after their company tanks and workers get fired. For example, Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson never received millions after being fired for fraudulent credentials and whatnot and having worked at Yahoo for only 4 months; Ina Drew, leader of JPMorgan Chase’s hedging unit never got a multi-million golden parachute after losing $3bn; and of course Marissa Myer never got many tens of millions after her tenure at Yahoo.
You forgot a few things in agenda of an executive –
14:00 Re-accommodating passengers from airplanes.
16:00 Sucking up to press and passenger when stock price drops by a billion.
17:00 Paying passenger off so that he would shut up.
18:00 Increasing personal bonus and firing employees to pay for money spent in lawsuit.
Edit: and one more occupation:
22:00 Paying off whatever politician is in power, in order to get tax breaks and government contracts.
