Those two things are not correlated.Sorry it's not fair for one man to have $200B in wealth while he pays his workers less than $15/hr.
The pay needs to be legal and competitive but not have any correlation to how much his equity stake in the company is worth.
The best way workers can demand their share is by going to work some where more fair. That will FORCE Amazon to raise wages until a point they are competitive and fair or they will have no labour.Workers need to demand their share. If they won't unionize themselves the Federal government must advocate for them. The disparity in wealth is out of control.
Inserting gov't and Unions into it only ensures a future collapse similar to the US automakers who were thought so Big and so wealthy that they could withstand uncompetitive cost structures simply because they had big profits. Over time, if you are forced to pay non competitive compensation you will lose out to the competitors who are payinc competitive compensation.
