I think most of us are opposed to government subsidies for the uber wealthy. Unfortunately, it does happen.

CEO compensation is a different matter, I think. I think CEO pay is grossly excessive, and I also think it gets a million times more attention than it deserves. One person's wealth almost never causes another person's poverty. Wealthy people usually pay a lot of taxes (easing the burden on the rest of us), and they usually give a lot to charity (easing that burden for the rest of us).
