This would put a ceiling on the VERY rich only. Say there was a law that no company could pay any individual more than $5 million a year. Ideally, this would force the remaining surplus capital of the company back down the chain to its middle and lower-tier employees. Would this not greatly accelerate the "trickle-down" economics?
Just imagine if Ford Motor company wasn't paying CEOs $200 million a year. Would they still be facing bankruptcy and borrowing from every bank possible?

According to CNN no!
They have to wait for table scraps from China to even survive the next few decades.
Some, such as CNN say that with in 5-10 years China will own the USA. Is this possible?

If you think about it, all our problems from the pothole in the street down at the corner, to war, drugs, animal extinction, health, and of course poverty has the same contributor-money. Repeat offenders could be re-educated if we didn’t have monetary concerns. We could venture into space in leaps instead of crawling along as we are doing now. I guarantee anything you can think of as being a problem in this world starts with or is caused by the existence of money and could be either eliminated or corrected if the mighty dollar wasn’t in the picture.

The "declining middle class" means that households are leaving the middle class faster than households are moving into it.

We have all these politicians saying "we're two Americas now because the middle class is shrinking." But the same BLS data set that shows that many households left the middle class shows where they went - and 92% of them moved UP.

It's also important to define terms - the "middle" means between 2X and 5X the poverty level of income - charted on a graph, the bell used to curve around 3X to 4X and now there's a wider bell that curves around 4X to 7X - households that are between 5X and 7X who used to be poorer now count as "affluent" but probably think of themselves as "upper middle class."

All that's happened is the "upper middle class" is bigger because "lower middle class" households moved up.

More people make more $ - why is that bad?

is this the reason that people in undeveloped countries get paid less? because most everbody lives off the land and it is boring, so when , for example, in China , you hear that if you go to the coast you can jump in line with 1000's of others to get a job in Hong Kong or Shanghai and if you can train and get a job like at a factory or IT company than you can live the nice modern life, buy a gas guzzeler live in a polluted city and go to KFC? dont foget they got plenty of pretty prostitutes running around too in the city with drugs! is it this cometition for the modern city life that makes places like China so competitive for wages and therefore cheaper place to move factories to , because they are in such high demand in such an undevoloped country?

People in America making under $12.00 per hour are unable to provide for basic necessities such as food, shelter and medical needs. Should the minimum wage be increased to $12.00 per hour so people willing and able to work can provide for basic necessities?

What do you think of the greatest propaganda machines of all the government and private business as the two instutions in the past clashed on what was right for public and now has become money hungry liars that deceive the innocent public from any enriching life style .1 when an politician is in the media talking about inflation rising(the politician is realy saying that they will let the price of food and products rise so that the government will have some more tax money and say again because the price of food has risen the government has a right to put up the cost of rates (the private sector raises a dollar on produce and the government raises a dollar on rates)as the government is put in place to control inflation not cause inflation as well.Australia is supposed to be a fair nation and its becoming a (advanced australia un-fair ).Australia needs new political blood to form an once more industrial australia.The government is now creating inflation ?.
