Majority Democrats in Congress looking to bridge the wealth gap in the U.S. are considering a proposal that would let workers profit from Wall Street’s impressive gains.
The SHARE Plan Act proposed by Rep. John Larson, D-1st District, would give an incentive to companies to distribute more stock to middle- and low-wage workers by allowing shareholders to claim long-term capital gains treatment on stock sales. Shareholders would otherwise pay at higher ordinary income tax rates.
