10. Sounds like a good idea. I read about that a few months ago and hope they pass it next time.

The income gap here is an outrage and getting wider every year. Yet, Congress seems either unwilling or unable to do anything about it.

Just asking the wealthy to pay their fair share would be a start. Asking them to create jobs HERE rather than taking advantage of their tax breaks and their subsidies to exploit workers in countries that have zero labor laws, would help.

Iow, if you want tax breaks and subsidies and you take your business out of the country, you must abide by US Labor laws AND minimum wage requirements. Otherwise no subsidies and you still have to pay the same tax rate everyone else pays. We can't afford this welfare for the wealthy anymore.
