Just having them pay the same percentage would be great.

Also, the CEO of the company belonging to the richest man in Norway(Olav Thon) earns around 250.000usd. I don't buy the argument that you have to pay insane amounts for a ceo. Nor the insane increase in wages they've had these last decades. If todays wages are what is needed to get a good ceo, where were all the good ceo's in the 80's? Were all the companies leaderless? Nah, they got on just fine back then too...
