It has been for as long as government has existed. lol sure if you're only following the Soviet empire marxists.org departments.bucknell.edu constitution.org Why today's democrats are hellbent on resurrecting the Soviet Union is beyond any logic.

Z, Sure it does. The former makes it so that employees get a little bit of a cushion and aren't 100% at the whims of their employers, and the latter brings the CEO closer to their level. But then you'd still be bitching about how the CEOs are still too close to the money, too close to the pursestrings. Raising the minimum wage increases unemployment. That's an economic reality you can't get around. Limiting CEO pay will just make the CEOs compensate themselves in other ways, including moving their compensation offshore or using stock options to get around the limits. You can pass more and more laws like counting the Black-Scholes valuation of said options as part of the compensation, but such micromanagement will be obsolete in a week. No matter what, you're never going to succeed in using regulation to move money from the greedy to the needy. Doesn't matter how much you try or how good your intentions are. Any system can be gamed, especially by those writing the rules. Besides, if you hate the fact that those closest to the money get the biggest cut, why don't you complain about those who write the law? They always tend to tilt the law in their own favor.
