Pass legislation that would establish a maximum wage for company CEOs similar to Sweden's "12:1 initiative".

Created by R.Z. on January 28, 2014

Currently, in the USA, CEO-to-worker pay sits at a ratio of about 300:1. This type of pay structure is not only bad for workers but bad for our economy. The middle class is what drives our eceonomy and now that the middle class is slowly disappearing and wealth is beginning to concentrate at the top, our economy is suffering. It is time to tie top executive pay to the lowest paid workers in that corporation. The current system is broken, America is no longer the land of opportunity. By limiting executive pay to 12:1 it will benefit all workers and CEOs will still make millions.
