Switzerland Shows U.S. How to Handle CEOs

The Swiss are voting on limiting executive pay to no more than 12 times the lowest salary in the company, and on creating a guaranteed basic income of $2,800 per month for every adult. That's about $16 per hour for a full-time worker, but it's guaranteed even for those who can't find work.
