This policy would limit the amount a CEO can earn compared to the average salary of their employees. Proponents argue that it would reduce income inequality and ensure fairer compensation practices. Opponents argue that it would interfere with business autonomy and could discourage top executive talent.

No, but they should enforce a higher minimum employee wage based on CEO salary.
@B2C5DJH6mos6MO
No, but raise the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for CEO's' large corporations
@3GBWB4V 1yr1Y
Yes for Corporations and Government Organizations, no for Non-Profit Organizations. Also is dependent on how high/low the cap is itself.
@ArghhGeeDub 6mos6MO
Yes, around 15-20 times their lowest-paid employee (and lowest-paid employee of any company contracted to perform a service at their establishments on a regular basis).
@B5XBFXG 1wk1W
Yes, but if the CEO is actually there and doing real work with employees and goes over what their salary says. They should get overtime pay for it.
@B5X23FC1wk1W
Not unless there is evidence of serious corruption and severely disproportionate CEO earnings. This will protect workers while still allowing a free market.
@B5NJBMJ1mo1MO
Instead increase income taxes on disproportionately paid CEOs and impeach Trump for gutting social welfare programs to fund huge tax cuts for billionaires
