I'm from switzerland. We voted yes this year on the "restrictions on fat cat salaries" [1]. And this was a try to hop on the train on people's currently antipathy regarding some top executives in our country. But there are like a dozen ways to get around this. Fortunately we voted no (my opinion).

- tonfa 13y agoForeigner living in Switzerland, the fact that it seems to easy to get around was what was bugging me most. Do you have pointers to arguments pro and cons used during the campaign (in particular why having the execs paid by a different company wouldn't work, and how stock compensation was supposed to work in this scheme)? (in german, english or french)
- patatino 13y agoIt's pretty easy to search for these arguments? "in particular why having the execs paid by a different company wouldn't work" this would work. you could just launch a new company with only the ones earning the top salaries. Some say even a holding would suffice. But it looks like this was covered. Btw: my favourite poster during the campaign.. always got hungry :D http://www.handelsblatt.com/images/1-12-initiatve-in-der-schweiz/9114614/3-format3.jpg http://www.handelsblatt.com/images/1-12-initiatve-in-der-sch...
