I definitely agree about regulating business. Thanks for your thoughts about limiting income of individuals.

I'm trying to have an open mind and see it differently, but the only thing that feels okay to me in this regard is to have that ratio approach: no CEO or executive can make x times more than employee median pay, or x times more than the lowest paid employee.

It encourages everyone to prosper and be invested.

But then there's that whole stock option thing and how wealth is manipulated. I say get rid of all hedge fund, speculative/manipulative aspects altogether.

And the Paris Hilton's of the world who didn't "earn" their money.

It's complicated, for sure.

Thanks again for the reply.
