@rbreich Let's talk straight in making them pay their fair share of tax. Saying the poor should eat the rich makes fear communism. In that Democracy paid for all the benefits with our taxes, and they need to pay their share of taxes. In communism, those mansions would house many families as their kitchens would be used to feed them. Without their consent or be ceased.
@rbreich I won’t call you crazy.
@rbreich If a CEO has created a company that's paying people an actual good, living wage, they're welcome to 350x their typical employee salary. Sadly, so few are doing that.

@rbreich

A perfect way to determine tax rates: the higher the disparity between CEO pay and the average employee's pay, the higher the tax rate for that executive.

It would disincentivize underpaying the bottom tier.

@rbreich Thank you for calling them "employees" and not "associates." That type of corporate pomposity really gets on my nerves!
