Go-Go Salary Caps
I'm endorsing a new economic model today that works like this: there is a limit to how much money you can make. In your lifetime. The limit will be high, like, I don't know 100 million dollars. But it's understood that once you reach the salary cap you really needn't make any more. Get out of the way, and let other people try their hand at your high-paying job, and don't blow your stash on extravagant spending.

Who is the model and inspiration for my proposal? Who will now start offering his services for free or for donations to charity? Who recently decided:

"I've been very well remunerated, as they say, for my talents over the years, so I really don't need the public's money."?

Why, ex-Wham singer George Michael of course.
