Now we need to index CEO pay to lowest rung worker. Republicans want to go back in time, for let's go back to 1965 when it was 25 : 1.

And yet, the middle class was the largest and most stable during that period of time. I'm pretty sure we had middle managers and didn't need minute regulation. We were a much more equitable society. In today's dollars, 2 million for a CEO and 80K bottom rung would be manageable/better optics.

Indexing top level salary to lowest rung employee would be a start, (post WWII boom in the 1960s, it was 25x). The CEO can make as much as the business can support, as long as all workers are lifted. AND... companies that don't rely on more than 2% of their labor needing SNAP!

We were only there for about 15 minutes. We saw one car arrive and drive in, and later, three cars exit the facility. The last car to leave had no license plates. This last is something else I’ve been reading about. And, well, I witnessed it. 5/5

And 20-40 others in various places; some observing, some with signs, some street people, one guy labeled 'press.' There were no guards in front of the building on the ground floor, though it looked like 1-2 were up on a balcony. 4/5

I don't know it's saying give citizens more sympathy, rather it's saying due process is not being given to citizens either. That line from Rev Niemöller's: Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me...? we're already there.

When companies with huge profits, like Walmart & Amazon, have a significant portion of workers on SNAP, it's corporate welfare.
I advocate metrics for when a corporation has profit, dividends, and obscene executive pay, and more than 3% of workers on welfare, that welfare comes out of their profit.

Have National Guardsmen been arresting people? If so, please link. So far all I've seen is they're more for show, patrols, and trash pick-up.

I've been saying this for years. Walmart and Amazon have huge profits. All those workers on SNAP... it's corporate welfare, not individual welfare.

And it's never about real pay. It's never about living wages.
There should a be a ratio or metric whereby if a corporation has profit and dividends and executive pay is 100s x lowest level pay, and they have more than 3% of workers on welfare, that welfare comes out of their profit.

I advocate for a law that indexes corporate profits, stock buy backs, executive pay, and shareholder dividends to how many employees qualify for SNAP or welfare. If it's above, say... 3%, we go after those profits. Because what it is then isn't individual welfare, but corporate welfare.
