The impact of the whole C suite of top 20,000 companies in USA would be much reduced incentives. These are the same companies that are making products that workers purchase from. Sure 5% extra money per family.

Do you really think 5% increase in income would change the savings scenario? The median real disposable income increased by more than 20% over the years. I don't think savings have changed.

I think we could do with some different incentives.

A lot of the readers here have worked at mega corps and seen what the incentives are in the real world, its not Ayn Rand superman doing the best thing for the company because their interests are aligned.
