Slapping a penalty on enterprise ambitions is just punishing the job creators. Keep the government’s hands off our paychecks.

Finally, a bill that slaps CEOs for turning paychecks into punchlines. It's about time we taxed greed, not just income.

Tackling pay disparity with taxes might be a blunt tool, but some pressure on executives isn’t a bad place to start.

No more CEO salaries on steroids while workers get crumbs. This law is a wake-up call to the corporate fat cats.

So now we tax CEOs for being too successful? Next, they’ll tax us for thinking big. Classic overreach.

If CEO pay was a movie, it’d be a horror flick — this bill is the plot twist we need. Tax the inequality monster!

This bill turns capitalism into capitalism-lite — less risk, less reward, more government meddling. Not what America signed up for.

If the sky-high CEO pay ratio has to mean a tax hike, then so be it. Just don’t expect it to fix the economy overnight.

Maybe forcing CEOs to balance paychecks will stop the ridiculous ratios, or at least start the conversation. A little fairness can go a long way.
