Tax on inequality

[BaalChatzaf]

The City of Portland Oregon has passed as tax on the salaries of CEOs  who earn 100 times the average wage of their employees. 

I think something like this could cause Ayn Rand to turn over in her grave.

If you think this is bizarre  have a look at the Kurt Vonegut  short novel   "Harrison Bergeron"

I heard about this on the radio.  I see a lot of head offices voting with their feet.
