A High Pay Commission has been launched.
I am delighted to note that this is backed by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust who also back my work.
As the Commission web site says:
Today is the official launch of The High Pay Commission. The Commission was established by Compass and is supported by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust.It was established to be independent from any political party or organisation. It is non-partisan in its approach and will draw conclusions based solely on the findings of the Commission.
The Commission will run for one year from November 2010 it is chaired by Deborah Hargreaves, highly regarded ex-business editor of the Financial Times.
She will be joined by a panel of five Commissioners from business, trade unions and academia. They include: Lord Richard Newby; Brian Bailey, Director of Pensions full time for the West Midlands Pension Fund; Robert Talbut, CIO of Royal London Asset Management; Frances O’Grady, Deputy General Secretary of the TUC and Professor Michael Taylor, former Director of Christian Aid.
I look forward to learning more.

I sort of agree agree with your idea of “fairness”(Lord I hate that word)
A strctly enforced flat rate for everybody would be my idea of fairness

And society can choose to tax you
