Create Fair Wages for all

Created by J.K. on January 23, 2016

The income gap between the lowest and highest paid employees in major corporations is far to big. Our country would be a much better place if the lowest wage a company could pay an employee was either a percentage of the highest paid employee or minimum wage which ever is higher.

By creating a rule like this a company would have to reward their lowest paid employees in order to give their highest paid employees a raise.

The lowest paid CEO in the top 100 is over 20 million. If that same company had to pay its lowest paid employees 1% of that salary their lowest paid employee would make over 200 thousand.
