"Environmental lawyer-turned-Portland City Commissioner Steve Novick has
a cool use for the new SEC rules requiring companies to disclose
executive pay starting in 2017: he's going to impose special taxes on
businesses where the ratio of CEO pay to median worker pay exceeds 100:1
— an increase of 10% for 100:1 companies, and 25% for 250:1 companies."

Excellent idea!
