What the petition asks

Wage gaps have got out of hand, meaning top earners are paid a ridiculous amount more then entry level staff. Often on a false pretense that hugh salaries attract the best candidates. It just attracts the greedy.More people are struggling to make ends meet due to inflation driven by a skewed.
impression of growth The average salary is distorted by excessively high wages while most people barely get by. This has driven up day to day living costs while every day workers buying power has decreased. A cap on how many times the lowest salary a company's top salary is would drive up that bottom salary and make wage distribution fairer, would equalise the housing market and boast the economy much more than 99% of money being in the hands of 1% of people.
