Salaries being out of skew, effectively means salaries you think are too high. You have you personal view of what would be best, and think its just great to impose it on the rest of the world. Beyond that you even think its somehow wrong if everyone doesn't fall in line with your opinions on how much they want to pay people. Except for government salaries, salaries are not properly the subject of politics. People should make whatever people want to pay them. Private salaries are pretty much none of your business except to the extent your a shareholder in the company paying the salary (and then your say should be equivalent to your share of the company) As for revolutions they are more likely to come not when people can make a lot in a free market, but when the free market is politically restricted in the favor of the well connected, leaving little or no opportunity for those who aren't well connected. Its an issue of corruption and lack of opportunity, not just people getting rich.
