Should the government enforce a cap on CEO pay relative to the pay of their employees?

This policy would limit the amount a CEO can earn compared to the average salary of their employees. Proponents argue that it would reduce income inequality and ensure fairer compensation practices. Opponents argue that it would interfere with business autonomy and could discourage top executive talent.

CEOs shouldn’t make millions while workers are underpaid putting money in the hands of people who pay taxes is better than putting it In the hands of the rich who don’t

No, that is the responsibility of representation by unions and employees. Not an issue of the government

 @B3XK2RMfrom Alberta  answered…4wks4W

It depends on the company and what the CEO actually does. Do they pay their employees a fair living wage? If so, no. If employees are not paid well, then yes

 @B36H68Hfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

No but we need new mechanisms for making capitalism work for all. There is too much pay inequality and unions are not the answer.

 @B2R667BConservativefrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

No, we shouldn't disincentivize building businesses.

 @B24CC9Qfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Yes but depends on the size of the cap and the market cap of the company as well as employment numbers

 @9TTLXGXfrom Nova Scotia  answered…7mos7MO

not a cap but a ratio since the CEO is taking a lot more risk than the employees

 @9MKYHZ7from Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

No, if we raise taxes on the rich then the issue will solve itself

Gallup Poll Bombshell: Over Half of Ukrainians Ready for Peace

More than half of Ukrainians want talks to end the war with Russia, according to the latest Gallup polls released on Tuesday, the war’s 1,000th day. The surveys, conducted in August and October, found that 52 percent of Ukrainians want their nation to negotiate an end to the war in Eastern Europe that has been raging for over two-and-half years. Almost four in 10 Ukrainians, 38 percent, want their military to keep fighting until it wins the war. Some 9 percent did not know or refused to share their opinion on the matter. The outlook of the Ukrainians is different from the period when the invasion began in February 2022. Just months after Russia’s invasion kicked off, around 73 percent of Ukrainians wanted to keep fighting. The support for continued fighting dropped among Ukrainians in 2023 when 63 percent wanted the conflict to continue while 27 percent preferred a negotiated peace, according to the survey. The poll comes as Ukraine fired U.S.-made long-range missiles inside Russia for the first time since the restriction was reportedly lifted by the Biden administration. On the same day, Russian President Vladimir Putin lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. The support for continuing the war has dropped among Ukrainians across the country, dipping to below 50 percent throughout the nation this year, Gallup noted. The biggest declines were in regions that are far from the front lines. Over half of Ukrainians, 52 percent, agree that Kyiv should be open to making some territorial concessions as part of a cease-fire, according to the poll. Around 38 percent disagreed while another 10 percent did not know.
