The reason that the Walton family is really rich is because they figured out that our society values pricing over all else. Do you really think that Americans are going to start paying 5x as much for the same products because they are American made?
If companies charge 5x what they are charging now someone will come in much lower and eat their lunch. Let the market decide. Maybe the solution is execs should only be making 1000 times
what their lowest paid employee makes instead of 1,000,000 times.
