not wages. They get a break on capital gains, that required no blood and sweat. Also tax Corporate “stock buy backs” at 100%. That all goes to CEOs, as they are paid with stock options. I’d rather see stock prices increased by stock spits. Make them more affordable for the Middle class. All wage earners should get stocks as part of their compensation. That would give them a voice(vote) in how the company is run.
Don’t get me started on this sh*t.
