Tell Congress: Support the Income Equity Act!

We have a problem with our economy. The raw numbers say the economic pie is growing, but the larger pieces are all going to a small minority of Americans -- meaning that for most Americans, wages are barely keeping pace with inflation.

That's why I have introduced new legislation designed to fight income inequality in America starting at the top: by reconnecting the economic fortunes of those in the executive suite with those of their frontline employees.

My bill, the Income Equity Act of 2007, is a simple, common sense piece of legislation that would limit the amount of executive compensation corporations can deduct as a legitimate business expense to 25 times the pay of a company's lowest paid worker.

Please help me pass this important legislation by contacting your Representative in Congress today!

Thank you,

Rep. Barbara Lee

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

We have a problem with our economy.  The raw numbers say the economic pie is growing, but the larger pieces are all going to a small minority of Americans -- meaning that for most Americans, wages are barely keeping pace with inflation.

That's why I urge you to support the Income Equity Act (H.R. 3876) to fight income inequality in America starting at the top: by reconnecting the economic fortunes of those in the executive suite with those of their frontline employees.

This is common sense legislation that would limit the amount of executive compensation corporations can deduct as a legitimate business expense to 25 times the pay of a company's lowest paid worker.

It's not the government's job to tell corporations what they can pay their executives, but American taxpayers have the right to choose whether or not to subsidize these out of control executive salaries.

Please take the first step towards addressing America's growing income inequality by emailing Congress in support of the Income Equity Act of 2007!

Sincerely,
