If we had more equality, which would be a result of forcing all salary info to be public, you wouldn't have to worry as much about being robbed.


That would not be the result of publishing salary information. It might be a drop in the bucket for equality at best. And you're speaking to someone who consistently votes and donates to democratic socialist candidates and causes.


In particular, publishing executive salary information has been blamed for fueling an arms race in executive pay [0], and by inference, inequality.

As a thought experiment, if we were to add everyone else's information, it's not clear to me that everyone would come out as a winner.
