CEO compensation (while obviously excessive) is usually a very small line item on the balance sheet of a large company. I have done the math at Walmart, if the CEO worked for free and gave every cent back to the employees, it would work out to less than $100. Year for each employee.

There are bad rich people out there. But wealth is not finite, it's not like a pizza ( otherwise GDP could not increase). If Oprah Winfrey makes a million dollars today, that does not mean there's a million less for you and I to scrounge for.

It's always easy and gratifying to believe that someone else is to blame for whatever pisses us off.

And it's in the private sector, so it's not socialist. Yahoo doesn't get one cent from you, unless you freely choose to give it to them.
