I think this is so awesome. I really do. Ever since Ben & Jerry's set an example by tying their highest-paid executives' salaries to their lowest-paid workers' pay, I've been wishing there was a way to do that for less socially conscious companies. I know, I know, socialism blah-de-blah. Does anyone really think that "the economy" (meaning, the common American's fortune) is helped by paying CEOs multi-million-dollar salaries? The trickle-down effect? Really?
