ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Mark Cuban thinks we should end exorbitant pay for executives.
“I would create tax incentives for companies that rewarded all of their employees with a pari passu-type ratio of stock rewards to income,” he said on a recent podcast. “If the CEO gets $100,000 worth of stock and makes $1 million, that’s 10%. The person working the front desk who makes $40,000 gets 10%. I think that’s the path to income equality.
“You have to increase people’s asset base in order for them to have assets that appreciate and keep up. Because if you don’t have assets that appreciate, you can’t ever keep up.”
If all employees earned the same percentage of stock relative to their salary, wage inequality would be eradicated.

We can’t deny that technology has pushed the human body far beyond what Greece’s ancient athletes could have achieved. Every person on a podium today got there, not just because they are athletically superior, but because they have been scientifically and technologically optimized to be superior.

America’s billionaires will call anything “socialism”—so long as it keeps them from paying taxes.
They parrot the idea that we need billionaires, because it’s the promise of million-dollar payouts that incentivizes them to build the internet, autonomous vehicles, and rockets.
Both are untrue, as ev…
