Taxes and unions are blunt tools that have been used in the past to address inequality. We address inequality at its source by petitioning our government to set a cap on a corporation's earnings to US payroll ratio. This cap would be determined by a corporation's history as found in its W2's and earnings filings. There would be a fine imposed of 100% of any earnings in excess of the cap.
. Corporations would decide how best to increase their payrolls, not the government.
. Since ratio is to US payroll, would retain US workers.
. Avoids the political problems of tax and redistribute
Since 1972, payrolls have fallen from 52% to 44% of GDP. This cap will reverse this trend before our economic/political system is placed at risk.
