If you don't like a company's methods, don't buy their products. If a
company's products cost too much due to a CEO's pay, they won't be
competitive. Your communist ways don't work.

Another "sounds good, but," statement.

The problem in this case is determining the "cost" of the
product. To be sure a definite sum is required when the item or
service is purchased, but with the proliferation of "cost
externalization," "transfer pricing," and governmental subsidies
at several levels/stages, it is no longer possible in most cases
to even roughly estimate the actual total "life cycle" cost of a
product/service to the end user.
