They should bring it down to no more than 10 times the lowest paid worker on small buisnesses, 20 times on medium sized and 40 times on the large. Then you have an issue of who gets the extra, because in most cases the CEO owns the majoority of stock. It gets complicated.

People\human standards is the concept for a more equal and just society.

Sounds great to me. Still looking for Senator or Representative with the huevos to pitch it. Hoping there would be press to cover the outcome, too.

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
