Should the government enforce a cap on CEO pay relative to the pay of their employees?

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.

Only in larger companies

Yes, by making it a choice between extra tax or profit sharing

 @9ZTQK9J answered…2yrs2Y

Yes if there is any government contracts, funding, grants or support involved.

 @B7QPPVYanswered…8mos8MO

No, sometimes yes, but it depends on the size of the company, how much money they pull in. There should be a CAP for how much a CEO can earn, to stop corrupt monopolies from ruining the country.

 @B7Q4HQBfrom Benguet  answered…8mos8MO

No, but create laws to increase the pay of employees and protect all their protections as employees.

 @B2WGS2Xanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, and also implement a wealth tax or cap for individuals, not just an income cap
