> So you decide: 20,000 companies running with a CEO being paid like an average person. And every citizen gets $500 in their account per year

In these contrived scenarios people will always choose the anti-CEO scenario.

You could restructure your hypothetical scenario such that the money was lit on fire instead of being paid to executives and you’d still find support from people who are just angry at executives getting paid a lot.

I agree but funnily enough - lighting it on fire will have the same consequence as every citizen being paid $500 (assuming similar spending patterns of CEO's and workers which is an exaggeration).
