Why stop at CEOs? The real power within corporations is the boards and investment groups - they decide who to hire into the executive, what their goals are and what their incentives to meet those goals will be.
Executives are the upper middle class, trying to get their retirement sorted. Around the same class as our politicians. Definitely culpable, but not the root cause.
Boards are stocked with the real nepo babies / Sith Lords. Well connected rich idiots who have nothing to offer the world other than than misdirected entitled rage and misanthropy.
Maybe we just make it asset tested. Everyone with a net worth > $5m gets the guillotine
Boundaries like that don’t work, because, depending on the region, 5mio. could easily be your mom n pop shop or local doctor. Maybe we could tie it to certain tax indicators?
Whoops we guillotined a bunch of famers because they had too many assets. /S
For real. I feel like the rich AND powerful are better selectors for who to point some blame for. They by definition have the influence needed to shape the current status quo.
