You'll get no real argument from me on that point.  However, the theory
is, of course, that unless paid large salaries with bonuses and all the
rest of it, the upper echelons of management will elect to take their
skills elsewhere, meaning the economy as a whole will lose out: your major
companies need their CEOs more than they need their $12/hr worker bees.
Clearly, though, that point is debatable when the same companies are
bleeding money left and right; and when those companies continue to pay
their executives large bonuses, it leaves a sour taste in all of our
mouths.
