Press Release: Congressman Mark DeSaulnier Introduces CEO Accountability and Responsibility Act to Address Income Inequality

None

Congressman DeSaulnier introduces the CEO Accountability and Responsibility Act to address corporate greed and income inequality.

Quiver AI Summary

Congressman Mark DeSaulnier has introduced the CEO Accountability and Responsibility Act (H.R. 5019), aimed at addressing corporate greed and income inequality. The bill proposes to increase corporate taxes for companies with significant disparities between CEO and worker pay, promoting a maximum pay ratio of 50:1.

DeSaulnier criticized the current trend where CEOs earn vastly more than their employees, stating, “while Republicans bend over backwards to help their CEO friends get richer,” this legislation seeks to “put the power back where it really belongs—with workers.” The act is supported by several advocacy groups.

Historically, CEO compensation has surged from a ratio of 20-30 times that of average workers in the 1970s to more than 300 times today. DeSaulnier’s proposal follows similar initiatives in cities like Portland and San Francisco, which have successfully targeted excessive corporate pay disparities.
