'Take nothing for the journey.' | National Catholic Reporter

'Take nothing for the journey.' | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Jesuits actually try out what the Lord has to say in yesterday's Gospel.  One of the contributors to America recounted his journey after being essentially left off in the middle of nowhere and having a month to get back.  So don't say it cannot be done in the modern era.



CEO salaries should be trimmed - not as some PR gimmick but by taxing them at 99% (combination state and local) above a certain limit.  This takes away the incentive to cut worker salaries.  Say what you will about the problem of consumerism, for a long time it was the safety valve that kept workers from radicalizing.  Cut worker salaries so they can't comsume and they may vote for Senator Sanders.  



Of course, worker ownership and control (the important part) should lead to all promotions in house and an open bidding process where the lowest qualified bidder becomes CEO.  Since there is almost always someone who thinks he can do a better job than the boss and is willing to be paid less to do it, this is not an idle threat.
