John,



Did you know that the U.S. has added 50 new billionaires during the
pandemic?^1 All while millions more people have fallen into poverty and
millions more have lost work and income.

But, while the pandemic has exposed and worsened income and wealth
inequality, wage suppression has been going on for decades.

In the past 40 years, average workers’ pay rose by just 13%, while average
CEO pay grew by more than 1,000%.

Today, the CEO-to-worker pay ratio sits at 320-to-1, a dramatic increase
from 21-to-1 in 1965.^2 But there’s something we can do!

Along with my colleague Representative Barbara Lee, I’ve introduced the
Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act in the U.S. House to tax big corporations that
pay their CEOs and other top executives at least 50 times more than they
pay an average worker.

today to incentivize corporations to pay their workers a higher wage?

As Representative Lee said upon the introduction of this critical bill:

“As millions of families struggle to keep food on the table during a
global pandemic and economic crisis, it is more important than ever that
we close the CEO-worker pay gap and ensure that companies pay their
workers the wages they deserve.”

The bill would raise an estimated $150 billion over 10 years that could be
used to reduce racial, gender, and economic inequality. And it would only
impact U.S. corporations with average annual sales for the three preceding
years of at least $100 million.^3
