And what's "right"? No one seems to have the blueprint for that, yet

I think rome had a pretty good republic up until Julius Caesar crushed the building. As for the modern age, the Northern European blueprint has worked just fine. Australia and Canada are also commendable.

How they do things in Switzerland is up to them, more power to em. I wouldn't support that or anything approaching it, here.

Switzerland again? :what:

We get it :comeon: Christian cacs can share with other Christian cacs. :shaq2:

You make a fair point, but in doing so, you also have to acknowledge the strong correlation between white nationalism/racism and libertarianism as political positions, regardless of what libertarianism says about itself in theory. The same problem is as relevant to you, just in starker terms.

They better draft the referendum and law properly. Simple loophole is it to have the employment agreement signed by international subsidiary, then you second the executive to Switzerland subsidiary.

No problem with it... if the Execs wanna cake, thats cool... but then they just gotta let the fukkaz on the bottom cake too... I dont know if 12X is too small though. I'm thinkin I'm not the lowest on the rung at my company, we got 10 teirs and Im at 8 which is the same level as middle management (though I'm not MM)... if our CEO had 12x my salary he's not approaching a milli... at that point whats the point of being CEO? imagine this at a company like a grocery store where the bottom employees are under 10 bux an hour...

that said, dude is a fukkin cornball so fukk em. "I wanna be like Pitbull...he's cool" :dwillhuh:

old white guys :comeon:

Swiss voters are going to the polls to decide on strict new laws to limit executive pay to no more than 12 times the wage of the lowest-paid worker in the same company.

The 1:12 initiative is backed by Switzerland Young Socialists, who gathered the necessary 100,000 signatures to call a referendum.

It is the second time this year the Swiss have voted on top salaries; in March they voted overwhelmingly to curb big bonuses, and to ban golden handshakes and goodbyes.

perfect example of how we're supposed to leverage the power of the people to dictate public policy.

take notes USA.

I honestly don't care what these multinationals pay their CEO.

if it was hurting the company he would be let go by the shareholder outrage or the board.

:snoop:

if you support this law and support globalization you're a hypocrite

not true at all.

It's kind of naive to think that execs didn't anticipate this and found a way around it already

they can try:yeshrug: and they may succeed, for a time :ld: but eventually we get that ass :ufdup:

And what's "right"? No one seems to have the blueprint for that, yet

right·eous
(of a person or conduct) morally right or justifiable; virtuous.

it means we do the right things for the right reasons. simple.

i dont think a cookie-cutter formula like "<12x the botttom salary" will work for every company, but i definitely think its a step in the right direction.

they've got the right idea.

Needs to be approaching 2X but this is a decent compromise

Only 2% of the population in Switzerland isn't Christian :whew: I know Muslims are getting shytted on something serious there.

That's pretty odd. Most of Northern Europe is overbearingly Atheist and by far the most irreligious region of the world. The other countries in that region have pretty similar views on policy so it isn't a religion thing.
