>> Because we just need a simple law, the highest paid employee in an organization can only make X times what the lowest paid employee makes. If an executive wants to make more, he'll have to raise EVERYONE's pay! Then, we need to decide a fair multiplier for X. Right, you idiot. Great idea for America. We'll have the same nitwits running Walmart as the people who are cleaning up the spills on Aisle 3. You're about the dumbest damned SOB I think I've ever encountered. And that's saying a lot.

Why not just keep anyone from earning more than minimum wage? One wage for everyone. And we'll set it at $250K a year so everyone will be a millionaire.

As usual Bentway, you're posting viral slogans that don't have any basis in reality. politifact.com Never mind the fact that the average CEO pay in Japan for their top 100 companies is $1.5 million: businessweek.com You're telling me that's only 11 times the average worker's salary in Japan? Get real. Tenchusatsu

Hi bentway; Re making a law to keep executives from earning too much. No, if they did pass a law that capped executive salaries the result would be the same as when they used to have a 90% tax rate for really high income; the rich would get around it any number of ways. The rich have a number of advantages in this game. They have the best accountants. They have much better access to politicians. (And it's pretty clear that the low number of prosecutions from the recent economic crash is due to heavy investment in the executive branch by Wall Street.) And when push comes to shove, the rich get to decide where their corporations exist. The democrats will never learn this but the fact is that you can't make a society happy by making the wealthy unhappy. It's not a zero sum game. -- Carl
