And the hard truth is this: the tax-rate change itself has to go through Congress, but the President can use executive orders on day one of week two to define the scorecard, change federal contracting, force disclosure where the executive branch controls the money, and send the bill immediately. You are not waiting for the whole statute before moving behavior.
The foundation is already there. Public companies already disclose the CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio under SEC rules. The tax code already limits the deductibility of certain executive compensation above $1 million for publicly held corporations under Section 162(m). The federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour, which is too weak to serve as a serious national benchmark. And federal contractor wage rules have already been justified in law as promoting “economy and efficiency” in procurement, which means procurement is an immediate leverage point.
Day 41 — The Corporate Tax Justice Design Order
Executive Order:
Treasury, OMB, Labor, Commerce, CEA, and the White House legislative team must produce within 21 days the full Project 2029 corporate tax scorecard based on executive pay concentration, benefits quality, living-wage job creation, and job retention.
Purpose:
To define, in measurable terms, what counts as extraction versus contribution—so tax policy can target behavior, not just revenue.
Benefit to the people:
A clear national standard that rewards companies building stable lives and penalizes those concentrating wealth at the top.
Echo Day:
Day 50 — The full legislative package is transmitted using this scorecard as its backbone.
Day 42 — The Executive Pay Ratio Tax Package Order
Executive Order:
The Administration transmits legislation tying corporate tax liability in part to the CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio already disclosed under SEC rules.
Purpose:
To directly link internal inequality to tax burden, turning disclosure into consequence.
Benefit to the people:
Pressure on corporations to reduce extreme pay gaps and raise wages across the workforce.
Echo Day:
Day 131 — Capital gains and wealth compression reforms reinforce the same principle at the ownership level.
Day 43 — The Section 162(m) Expansion Order
Executive Order:
Treasury transmits legislation expanding limits on deductibility of executive compensation tied to excessive pay and weak worker conditions.
Purpose:
To end the treatment of extreme executive pay as a normal, subsidized business expense.
Benefit to the people:
Less tax advantage for top-end extraction and more incentive to distribute earnings through wages and benefits.
Echo Day:
Day 135 — Excess-profit recapture builds on the same logic: extraction is not neutral, it is corrected.
Day 44 — The Living-Wage Job Creation Credit Order
Executive Order:
Labor, Treasury, and Commerce establish within 30 days a regional living-wage framework tied to tax credits for durable job creation.
Purpose:
To replace a weak national wage floor with a real, location-based standard tied to actual living conditions.
Benefit to the people:
More jobs that pay enough to live on, not just survive on.
Echo Day:
Day 151 — Education and workforce capability align with a labor market that actually rewards skill and stability.
Day 45 — The Worker Benefits Credit Order
Executive Order:
Treasury, Labor, HHS, and OMB create a tax framework rewarding corporations that provide real benefits: free healthcare, paid leave, retirement, and stable scheduling.
Purpose:
To redefine a “good job” as one that builds resilience, not just income.
Benefit to the people:
More workers protected against illness, disruption, and long-term insecurity.
Echo Day:
Day 141 — Paid leave and well-being systems expand the same protections across the population.
Day 46 — The High-Road Federal Contractor Order
Executive Order:
Federal contracting prioritizes firms that meet wage, benefit, retention, and low-extraction standards.
Purpose:
To use federal spending power immediately to shift corporate behavior before legislation passes.
Benefit to the people:
Public money supports better jobs instead of subsidizing low-wage, high-extraction firms.
Echo Day:
Day 128 — Democratic employer standards expand this requirement across the broader economy.
Day 47 — The No Public Reward for Extraction Order
Executive Order:
Corporations seeking federal support face heightened review if engaging in buybacks, layoffs, wage suppression, or extreme executive compensation.
Purpose:
To sever the link between public subsidy and private extraction.
Benefit to the people:
Taxpayer money stops flowing to companies that weaken workers while enriching executives.
Echo Day:
Day 132 — Buybacks are directly constrained and redirected toward worker benefit.
Day 48 — The Anti-Gaming and Worker Classification Order
Executive Order:
Treasury, IRS, Labor, and DOJ establish anti-avoidance rules targeting misclassification, subcontracting abuse, payroll fragmentation, and artificial job churn.
Purpose:
To prevent corporations from evading reform through structural loopholes.
Benefit to the people:
More workers correctly classified, protected, and counted in real employment gains.
Echo Day:
Day 139 — Reclaimed wealth is tracked and routed transparently back to the public.
Day 49 — The Corporate Accountability Disclosure Order
Executive Order:
Treasury, Labor, and Commerce create a public corporate accountability template covering pay ratios, wages, benefits, job creation, and retention; the Administration coordinates with the SEC for expanded disclosure support.
Purpose:
To make corporate behavior visible, comparable, and accountable.
Benefit to the people:
Workers, investors, and the public can see which companies build stability and which extract from it.
Echo Day:
Day 140 — The national scoreboard aggregates this data into a public measure of progress.
Day 50 — The People’s Corporate Tax Act Transmission Order
Executive Order:
The President sends Congress the full legislative package: pay-ratio modifier, living-wage credits, benefits credits, expanded executive-pay limits, and anti-abuse rules.
Purpose:
To consolidate all behavioral incentives into one enforceable system.
Benefit to the people:
A tax code that actively rewards companies building the country and penalizes those stripping it.
Echo Day:
Day 121 — The wealth transfer system activates, moving gains from reform into direct public benefit.
41–43: make top-end extraction more expensive.
44–45: reward living-wage work and real benefits.
46–49: use procurement, disclosure, and anti-gaming rules to move behavior immediately.
50: send the full tax bill at once.
The clean sentence beneath all ten is:
A corporation should pay less when it spreads security and more when it concentrates wealth.
