7th Pacific Council Legislation Introduction and Discussion Thread

[Citizen Hats]

Would there be general support for tethering CEO and exec pay to the average pay of non-executive employees? The aim is to limit income disparity, which has really reached undemocratic levels in some quarters. I'd like to see something like that at the federal level, but I think we could do something with that here. I can work it up - it will be fairly short and sweet.

I Also have an idea for criminal / suspects' rights, but I'll research the database before proceeding with that one.

I would be opposed to such a measure.  Considering that the Region and the Republic provide separate minimum income guarantees and tax high incomes at very high combined rates, if my research is correct, I doubt this is a problem in the Pacific

[Citizen Hats]

Would anyone be interested in transforming Pacific's Guaranteed Minimum Income into a Negative Income tax, so that no one ever finds themselves out of pocket by working?

[Citizen Hats]

this is true, but as long as the Pacific Region is also subsidizing everyone income up to $12,999, we might as well do it right
