it also meant that there were a broad range of circumstances where it didn't necessarily make much sense to offer well-compensated people even more compensation. Instead of more compensation, you tended to get all sorts of perks that didn't count as income for the executive. just meant that, like global warming, I'm not qualified to have an opinion--you'd need a specific advanced degree and a lot of experience to be qualified to hold any opinion at all. I can't really agree with that. Even on global warming but esp. on the tax discussion. Likewise arguments that make an issue over Krugman's personal economic status. The issue raised wasn't "Krugman is rich so why is he complaining", it was rather than Krugman is an example of how more education results in a higher income. It did use him as an example but it wasn't really an argument over his personal economic status.
