Because if the companies dont pay their workers well then their workers have squat to buy anything so imo they need to force them to give their workers real wage increases without hiking prices by hitting the corporation where it hurts..........in the wallet.
Sock it to them on their profits and on the dividends they give out with higher taxes by looking at the lowest paid workers vs the highest paid employee of the company (usually the ceo) and the bigger the gap the higher the tax rate the company pays.
Also crack down on companies cutting workers hours to 20 - 25 hours a week in order to get around obamacare by making them pay higher corporate taxes on a sliding scale depending on how many part timer they have compared to full timers so the more part timers they hire with that few of hours the higher the tax on the company.
