"As long as everyone gets the same voucher, same amount for voucher, and has guaranteed public transportation to the same schools as others, with no regard for race, ethnicity, background, then sure go for vouchers.... if you can't guarantee those things then it's just another system that can be gamed." Anything can be gamed if you are adequately cunning. That's the problem of the "public parasite". And your conditions are arbitrary and ride roughshod over private liberty and the choices of the parents. A voucher system would induce the creation of local schools, so the transportation thing is irrelevent (and in anycase the responsiblity of parents not the State). "Pegging CEO pay to average of ALL employees including outsourced, freelance, and contractors (even janitorial staff), would go a long way towards making capitalism more fair." That would result in socialism. A healthy system looks for liberty based solutions, not coercions. More liberty intelligently applied (as with vouchers) requires politicans with backbone and brains. Able to withstand emotional blackmail and do the right thing for the long term instead of pretending to solve problems by banning stuff and throwing money around. |

I mean whether the CEO earns 50 million or is capped at only earning 5 million is up to him.
All he needs to do is raise wages across the board. Multipliers could be given also for increased employee#s year to year. --- CEO could still earn plenty, say it's pegged at 200 * average worker and average worker earns 60k - that's STILL 12 million per year, hardly anything to scoff at.
Then say you also get an extra 10% bonus allowance for every 1% increase in employees (you also get docked 10% per 1% decrease), and you increased employment by 2% over last year, so you get 220* average worker salary or an extra 1.2 million. Furthermore we could add bonuses based on u.s. to offshore worker ratio, more U.S. employees = higher CEO pay.
If I'm a CEO earning $10 million, but I want to earn $15 million, I'm going to have to get creative about increasing the average from 50k to 75k. When all companies are in this same boat -- wages across America will go up organically. There almost won't be a need for a minimum wage even.
