The United States is a low-wage country. (Here a chorus of Republicans pipes up: Yes, but it's the greatest low-wage country in the world, and don't you forget it!) In fact, in 2009 the United States led developed nations, with 24.8 percent of workers earning less than two-thirds of the median income. By comparison, the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland and Germany all came in at between 20 and 21 percent of workers earning less than two-thirds of their respective median incomes. (Republicans: We're number one!!!)

Lets say a CEO, makes 100 million a year, cut that pay to 5 million a year and that extra 95 million you could employ hundreds of workers, with good wages and benefits too!
CEO pay start to rise, when our jobs here started to be outsourced overseas!

so you want the government to force companies to hire workers? that 95 million would go to SH unless you force them to hire workers.
