to see them tackle the wage problem via a corporate tax method.
By that I mean the taxes on companies and corporations that have more than 100 employees and or that earn more than 30 million a year should see a hike of their taxes to 60% or 80%.
To lower it then the only method should be via a formula that links the employees wages to the federal poverty level.
The more employees they have and the more that earn over 500% above the poverty level the lower the corporate taxes.
Also part time, temp, contract and workers for franchises should count towards the corporate employee numbers.
