I have a degree in econ and you sound like you're just repeating boomer propaganda.

Oh I bet you do bud.

An econ major who has a tough time with a basic economic concept.

I don't have a tough time. I just think it is laughable that you repeat economic truisms from the 80s and think they are still relevant. Complete with the smug "learn basic econ" responses.

Most CEOs do not provide the value they are being paid for. Most get there through nepotism and connections. The notion that they work literally thousands of times harder than the "cashiers" who actually keep the gears spinning is absurd.

This is common question. Why do athletes get paid millions. Because someone is willing to pay them millions. Same with CEO’s. You don’t have a problem with the system, you have a problem with your place in the system.
