In other words, we would need to justify the pay-gap between chief executives and ordinary workers. The second would be to justify high CEO compensations from an economic perspective.

Removal of politics from our democracy will enable corruption to yield, finally halting concentration of wealth at the very top.

He opened his own practice! Back then, we all thought…

A hard working, middle class man with a good paying job must pay more in taxes than a lower-income earner, even if the tax rate wasn’t progressive. Now add a higher rate, various bills, and child support to the picture. This hard-working man is now equivalent to someone else who isn’t working as hard and receiving the benefits he is paying for. Someone who is successful should not…
