If this is what Barack's detractors are calling "communism" then so be it. It is high time we provide corporate America with a bitter pill. A ratio between CEO and the lowest line worker's salary, not to exceed the ratio of 8:1. Both are equally important for the success of any enterprise in this country, more so after this country is going through a economic "Hiroshima". According to a CNBC analyst, we are not going back to where we came from. Rather, we are moving in a new direction.

There's got to be a point where you say, 'I have enough, and now I'm in this position of responsibility. Let me make sure that I'm doing right by people and acting in a way that is responsible,'" Obama said.
