Rashida Tlaib and Bernie Sanders introduce the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act The new bill calls for higher taxes on companies that pay their executives more than 50 times what their workers make By Lee DeVito September 15, 2025 "#CEOPay is out of control, with the possibility of #Tesla executive #ElonMusk becoming the world’s first #trillionaire. Meanwhile, prospects for average workers have dimmed with decades of stagnated wages and a majority of Americans living paycheck to paycheck. "On Monday, U.S. Rep. #RashidaTlaib of Detroit and U.S. Senator #BernieSanders of Vermont introduced the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act to rein in what they call the '#ObsceneSalaries of America’s top executives.' "House Resolution H.R. 5298 proposes taxing corporations at a higher rate if they pay their executives more than 50 times what their workers earn. If passed, Tesla would be forced to pay up to $100 billion more in taxes over the next decade if Musk’s massive pay package is approved. " 'Working people are sick and tired of #CorporateGreed. CEOs are now making 290 times more than their average worker,' Tlaib said in a statement. 'It’s disgraceful that corporations continue to rake in record profits by exploiting the labor of their workers. Every worker deserves a living wage and human dignity on the job. I’m proud to re-introduce the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act with Senator Bernie Sanders to address the massive income and wealth inequality in our nation. It’s time to make the rich pay their fair share.' "The Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act was first introduced by Sen. Sanders in 2019, with different versions re-introduced since then. "Meanwhile, the wealth of the top 1% has continued to explode, hitting a record-setting $44 trillion in 2024." Read more:

#GeorgiaUSA - the same state that brought us #CopCity! #SandySprings passes restrictions on #protests, #canvassing and engaging with others without permission Hayden Sumlin, April 4th, 2025 Excerpt: "Police Chief DeSimone said the personal encroachment ordinance would assist public safety in Sandy Springs. He cited a case recently where two individuals silently walked across the City Green during the Oct. 10, 2023 'Stand in Solidarity with #Israel' vigil wearing 'Arab headdresses with two #Palestinian flags that walked into the crowd.' " 'My guys had to grab them pretty quick and get them out of there; this ordinance will help us do that because they walked through there for only one reason, to intimidate,' DeSimone said. "Councilwoman Reichel asked DeSimone if that meant his department, 'would arrest someone just for walking through a group of people?' " 'Yes,' the police chief answered. 'If they were walking with a Nazi flag, under this ordinance we would arrest them. Palestinian flag, we would arrest them. Because they are doing it for only one reason and that is to intimidate the Jewish community.' [But it's okay for #ElonMusk and others in #Trump's circle to use Nazi salute? HYPOCRITES!] "Councilwomen Reichel and Kelley pushed back on his comments about the ordinance and Palestinian people. "At one point DeSimone asked Reichel, who is #Jewish, if she would consider it harassment for someone to walk by her with a Palestinian flag at a pro-Jewish event. " 'I don’t think that would be harassing me. I mean, if they came up to me and started getting in my face or started pushing me, or started to physically touch me, that is harassing, yes,' she said. 'But I do believe in the #FirstAmendment and I believe in freedom of speech.'
