We hereby request Congress to pass, and the President to sign, a statute prohibiting any business or company from paying any employee, including subcontractor employees, less than 1% of the total value of salary, bonuses and benefits paid to that same company's highest paid employee.
Why is this important?
Imagine the debate. While 1% doesn't sound like much, Disney would have to pay a full time occupant of a mouse suit about $400,000 per year to comply. Oracle Computer Technology Corporation would have to pay a part time janitor nearly $500 per hour to match 1% of the nearly $50,000 per hour paid to its top wage earner. The 'One Percent Rule' puts economic injustice in prospective. The worst Grinch in congress would be shamed into silence as the One Percent Rule highlights the economic injustice of the 'top 1%.'
