The Ceos High Bill
Tax on CEOs with high pay gaps blocks subsidies
Corporations with high principal executive officer additional tax imposed to median worker pay ratios, and companies disqualified from receiving state subsidies and grants.
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would add a tax on companies whose CEO pay is far above the median worker salary and stop them from getting state grants.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the bill passes, big companies will have to pay an extra tax if their CEOs earn far more than the average worker, and they will lose state grant money, which could push them to raise wages for regular employees, though they might also try to cut jobs or move elsewhere.
