American billionaire Mark Cuban has suggested raising taxes on any company that does not offer stock options to its employees. Cuban presented the tax proposal as a way to address wealth inequality. He noted that corporate tax policy could be used to encourage businesses to share business shares directly with workers.
The proposal aims to make jobs better compensated by giving employees a financial stake in their company. Under the plan, companies that provide shares to their staff would not face additional tax burdens. Increased tax duties would apply strictly to businesses that fail to provide equity shares to their employees.
