Happy 4th of July! πŸ¦…πŸ’₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Come to think of it, do you really live in a democracy if you spend 95% of your time lorded over by our bosses and CEOs? No! So how could we have more democracy at work?

Today Braus proposes a new designation of "democratic corporations". These corporations would continue to pay the rock-bottom low corporate tax rate of 21% (lowered from 35% in 2017). Authoritarian corporations will face a "Tyrant Tax" of an additional tax of 21%.

A democratic corporation is a corporation that has at least one of three characteristics: 1) customer governed, 2) employee governed, or 3) 95% unionized labor.

This would reward and incentivize the adoption of democracy in the economy and workplace, and disincentivize against authoritarian and oligarchic corporations. Yay!
