But how does what Senator Sanders proposed work? I can give examples where average workers take home 50-60% of net profit and still fall way below the 50-1 ration to the owner, CEO or executives. Yet, the average worker takes home in some cases many thousands of bonus dollars.

What should be done is encourage companies to start or broaden profit sharing, not impose a seemingly poorly thoughtout rule.
