Of course There isn't a fixed amount of wealth. But when a small number of people possess a vast majority of the wealth that is currently in existence, they also possess the means of wealth production and therefore control. By worrying about what the CEO makes, I'm worrying about what I make, too, because their influence directly affects my ability to create wealth for myself.

Please don't tell me that I shouldn't worry about the telecom CEO because I can just start my own telecom. I know the start up culture allows certain adventurous and well-funded white people to take a stab at their dreams, but let's not pretend there aren't a handful of very wealthy pulling the strings.
