Hey Justin, I know you're the exception that proves the rule, but it's the legal profession that writes up the contracts that create the inequality as there is no explanation/justification in any economic theory for a pay ratio of 479/1. The US left, such as it is, needs to both ratchet up it's deconstruction of legal orthodoxy and help produce lawyers that combine the feirceness of a Kunstler with the thoroughness of John Commons and Robert Hale.
