The Policy

The RPC will legislate a new scaling tax for leaders which earn more than 5x their lowest compensated employee; the greater the ratio, the higher their personal income tax. To be clear, this means the leader(s) will themselves be required to pay a surcharge on their personal taxes as consequence of their exploitative practices at work.

The Research

Our Broader Stance on:

The purpose of our economy is primarily to create and maintain the necessities for society. We are lucky enough to have surplus in our economic production which can also provide for many of our personal wishes and desires, beyond just our needs. Building a strong, resilient economy is critical to ensuring this continues to be the case.

An economy is not a playground for the ultrawealthy capitalists to extract surplus value by exploiting labourers.
