america 2.0.19: equitable income

(have i already said this somewhere)

?

corporate executive income 

has been increasing in america

in 1961 the typical ceo made 28 times

what the average worker made

.

ceo pay in 2023 rose to 271 times

and in 2024 it has risen to 285 times

the average worker

.

this divides us

this makes us weaker

.

in the new improved america

we would have a cap on salaries

such that corporations must distribute

"profit" according to some formula

that allows for innovation, education,

impact, incentives, etc. but where

the ceo (or any executive) cannot bring

home more than say 50 times the average

and the lowest paid workers will get

boosted to up to a "living wage"

.

all forms of compensation would need to

be distributed to all employees if they are given

to any

.

just some ideas

thoughts

?

* from multiple sources, including this from cnn 07-24-2025: ceos at the largest public companies took home $18.9 million last year, or 285 times as much as the typical us worker’s paycheck of $49,500. or this from the economic policy institute: ceos income has increased 1085% since 1978 while the average worker has seen 24% growth.
