re: The major implication is that not all corporations, even big ones, are alike. I would fear that this would provide an incentive to make all corporations alike. How so? Do you think that by broadening the compensation criteria, you could get more flexibility by the corps? re: I don't think it is practical to try and turn the clock back I don't agree this is trying to turn the clock back. As you say the death of unions won't be changed by this policy. But the WalMart effect might be reduced... maybe a more level playing field for a family business? re: but an alternative economic engine needs to be promoted I'm all ears. But it's got to be "doable". Can you think of any other downsides besides making companies alike (with better compensation)? John PS One mistake is that it's not revenue neutral. If the larger companies score worse, their tax penalty, in absolute terms, would be much larger than the companies that score better. Have to think on how to resolve that.
