Sanders Wants To Tax Companies Who Pay Their CEO Too Much

Sen. Bernie Sanders has unveiled his plan for an “Income Inequality Tax” that would target corporations who pay their executives far more than their workers.

Under Sanders’ plan, a company would face heavier tax rates if it pays its CEO more than 50 times the salary of a median worker.

Last year, the average S&P 500 company paid its CEO 287 times more than a median employee.

Sanders said he wanted to “Send a message to corporate America: If you do not end your greed and corruption, we will end it for you”
