American billionaire Mark Cuban put forward raising taxes on any company that does not offer stock options to its employees. Cuban framed the idea as an idea 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 is designed to make jobs better compensated by giving employees a financial stake in their company. Under the plan, companies that provide equity to their staff would not face additional tax burdens. Higher tax penalties would apply strictly to businesses that fail to provide equity shares to their employees.
