But why stop with landlords?
We also need to impose wage limits on college professors, and limit all colleges nationwide to charging a maximum $25 per credit.
Salaries for actors and actresses should be capped at $75,000 per year.
And journalists, both print and electronic, should, by law, have a mandatory income limit of $50,000 per year.
Where did I come up with these numbers?
The same place Bernie did.
I pulled em out of my derrière.
Well, here’s a less out of the rump type idea...
Limit public salaries (and benefits) to no more than twice the median household income they serve. Maybe even three times if you really want to add flexibility. You want a pay raise this year? You get it after everyone you serve gets a pay raise.
Want $30,000 a year in benefits? Cool, you get your salary reduced to pay for it. Or just take the money and buy your own coverage like everyone you serve.
