The Fair-Pay Rule

Here's another silly idea to improve the economy

Establish a 100 to 1 Fair-Pay standard for businesses. The top earner or owner can make no more than 100 times what the lowest paid worker gets. That means, in a job starting at $17k per year, the boss could earn no more than $ 1.7 million a year. Any extra profits could go to building the business, hiring more workers or raising salaries across the board. If the Ultra-Rich are truly "Job Creators" then let them prove it by limiting their own greed, investing in more American Jobs, higher pay and greater employee satisfaction and fairness. Now I know what you're thinking, "The damn Government can't tell me how to run my business!" True, a company wouldn't HAVE to abide by this rule but they WOULD have to pay a higher tax rate than a company that doesn't. So a SMART business owner who's watching the bottom line and wants to inspire worker loyalty would be a fool to not abide by the Fair-Pay Rule.

Wow. Didn't realize I rhymed there.
