On September 15, 2025, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Rashida Tlaib introduced the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act, aimed at addressing income inequality by imposing higher taxes on corporations that pay their CEOs more than 50 times the median worker's salary. The bill seeks to raise significant revenue while advocating for fair wages and fair taxation for corporations.
Sanders remarked, “It is unacceptable that the CEOs of the largest low-wage corporations make more than 630 times what their average workers make,” highlighting the urgency of addressing the disparity in incomes. Tlaib echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that “Working people are sick and tired of corporate greed.”
