SEIU Contest & the Sliding Corporate Tax Rate

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has kicked off a contest to find the best policy ideas to start making the economy work for ordinary people instead of just fat cats. SEIU initiated this contest knowing that there are great ideas out there beyond the Beltway, and everyone should take part in this project. Not only can you win big awards, but it is a way to really get involved in trying to steer America's political debate in the right direction.

When the contest was announced, I submitted an idea - it is a sliding corporate tax rate that would be directly related to the ratio between a company's highest-paid and lowest-paid employees. The bigger the ratio, the higher the tax. The lower the ratio, the lower the tax. Read more about the idea and the justifications for it here - and then comment on it over on SEIU's site.

Then, when you are done with that, step up and propose your own idea.
