American billionaire Mark Cuban has suggested increasing tax rates on any company that does not offer stock options to its employees. Cuban introduced the plan as a way to tackle wealth inequality. He noted that corporate tax policy could be used to encourage businesses to share company ownership directly with workers.
The proposal aims to make jobs better compensated by giving employees a financial stake in their workplace. 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 offer equity shares to their employees.
