If CEO pay were capped, would the GOP be pushing privatization?

Say that it was a requirement for companies bidding on contracting for the government to have total compensation for all company officers to be limited to, say, seven times what the lowest earning person in the company. Would the GOP be pushing so hard for services to be performed by private companies?

How about if they had to post a bond for four years to cover the cost of reconstituting the government office if they can not meet or beat the performance of the government run office?

1. So if the peanut vendor at the Nets games makes

$ 6,000 a year, then Jason Kidd should only make $ 42,000? Don't think so since Kidd has made that team tens of millions of dollars and brought them, a team always in the basement to the NBA finals two years in a row.

Or can Kidd make $ 12 million a year, but the management guys can only make $ 42,000?

4. What an obscene amount of money

I don't know what the answer to this problem is, but yeah I do think if we had caps privatization might slow down.

I also wonder if the sports and entertainment celebrities will be exempt should the have-nots decide to bring back the guillotine.

2. Probably not capped, but there should be some labor law that it should be

better distributed among the corporation. Our society is one that only gives the top man recognition and ignores the contribution of the workers below. There is something very self-destructive in that way of thinking.

3. Yes, not a doubt in my mind
