I also think that jobs making over $100,000 a year should have some sort of checks and balances put into place to make sure the people with jobs out there that basically don’t need to exist get what they deserve.

Yes an assistant to an assistant who makes $119,000 a year. and baiscally this secrataries assistant does nothing but order lunches, pick them up, pick up laundry, make copies of things and keep the office clean. Really?

Are you fucking kidding me right now? Salary Caps?

How about instead of punishing the people who work for a living, we punish those who don’t instead of fucking PAYING and rewarding them for doing nothing?

SRS, you sell appliances no? Ok well lets say they put a “cap” on your commission pay of $20,000/year and tax you 100% on anything you make over that. Would you still be pushing to sell those appliances? I wouldn’t.

Hell, if the government told me that as a small business owner my max income could never exceed $100K/year, I would quit right now and go on welfare because I would be better off doing that than working.
