The Equity Equation Project (EEP)
Fixing what’s broken—without breaking what works.
What is the EEP?
The Equity Equation Project (EEP) is a bold, market-driven solution designed to modernize how we tax wealth and structure corporate pay—without limiting ambition or success.
This isn’t about redistribution. It’s about responsibility—ensuring those who benefit most from the system contribute proportionally while removing burdens from middle-class Americans.
✅ Contributions based on Net Worth, not just income.
✅ Fair corporate pay that rewards success but prevents exploitation.
✅ A sustainable system that strengthens capitalism, not replaces it.
Key Pillars of the EEP
1. Replacing Income Tax with a Net Worth Tax
The EEP introduces a marginal net worth tax for individuals whose total assets far exceed what most Americans will earn in a lifetime. Income is no longer the most accurate measure of power—wealth is.
💰 Applies only to individuals worth over $1M
⚖️ Marginal tax rates range from 0.5% to 5% based on wealth brackets
📈 Wealth still grows, but hoarding without contribution is discouraged
To encourage compliance and fairness, capital gains tax is waived on funds withdrawn from investments explicitly to pay the Net Worth Tax. This ensures that individuals are not penalized for accessing their wealth to meet tax obligations. This also benefits average Americans, such as 1099 workers, who may need to access invested funds for tax payments.
2. Fixing Corporate Pay: The Responsible Compensation Model
No more runaway executive pay while employees struggle. Companies must align CEO pay with their workforce using a structured tax model that encourages fair pay distribution.
🔹 The tax code will be structured to highly encourage businesses to adopt fair pay structures through significant tax incentives. Conversely, businesses that drift too far from sustainable compensation models will be highly discouraged through tax penalties.
🔹 This shifts from a strict mandate to a highly incentivized framework, preserving business autonomy while ensuring responsible compensation.
🔹 If a company can afford to give their CEO a $50M bonus, then no full-time employees should be relying on government subsidies to survive.
🔹 Encourages reinvestment into workers, innovation, and long-term success.
🔹 Reduces government dependency—higher wages mean fewer Americans on assistance programs.
Why This Works
📊 For Workers – Higher wages, better job security, and reduced financial stress.
🏢 For Businesses – More productivity, healthier workplace culture, and sustainable growth.
💰 For the Economy – More consumer spending, job creation, and reduced wealth hoarding.
⚖️ For Society – Less economic disparity and more opportunities for all.
The Bottom Line
The EEP isn’t about limiting success—it’s about ensuring success benefits everyone.
It fixes broken incentives, rewards hard work, and puts money back into the hands of everyday Americans.
By incorporating tax incentives instead of rigid mandates, and waiving capital gains for tax payments, we create a system where businesses and individuals can thrive while contributing fairly.
The time for reform is now.
The Equity Equation Project (EEP): Core Details
The EEP is a structured initiative aimed at addressing systemic income and wealth disparity while maintaining capitalism’s core principles. This is a market-driven approach to modernizing taxation and corporate pay structures, increasing transparency, accountability, and economic growth.
Net Worth Tax: Restructuring Taxation for the Future
Concept:
The EEP includes a Net Worth Tax that applies only to high-wealth individuals.
Key Provisions:
- Marginal Tax Brackets for Net Worth
- 5% on net worth between $1M – $10M
- 1% on net worth between $10M – $50M
- 2% on net worth between $50M – $100M
- 3% on net worth between $100M – $500M
- 4% on net worth between $500M – $1B
- 5% on net worth exceeding $1B
- Uses Existing Tax Infrastructure
- Relies on IRS and financial reporting structures already in place.
- Wealth is assessed using valuation methods similar to property taxes.
- Transparency & Compliance
- IRS, SEC, and Department of Labor data ensure accurate valuation and enforcement.
- Offshore wealth disclosure under international compliance agreements..
✅ Business Growth – Small businesses retain more resources for reinvestment.
✅ Responsible Taxation – Focuses on national wealth participation rather than earned income.
Corporate Pay Algorithm: Ensuring Sustainable Compensation
Concept:
The EEP establishes a structured pay model that ensures executive compensation remains within responsible limits relative to workforce wages. This is not a flat cap—it’s a flexible algorithm that accounts for industry, company size, workforce structure, and revenue levels to determine fair wage disparities.
Algorithmic Pay Ratio (Proposed Framework):
- Flexible Pay Ratios
- Executive pay is determined based on an adaptable formula rather than a fixed multiple.
- The algorithm evaluates the workforce structure (full-time vs. part-time employees, revenue, and company size) to determine a sustainable wage ratio.
- Options for Compliance:
- Raising lower-wage employee pay to maintain compliance.
- Adjusting executive compensation structures to encourage long-term incentives over excessive base salaries.
- Corporate Accountability Measures:
- Tax penalties on excessive executive pay structures.
- Transparent reporting requirements for all businesses exceeding a designated revenue threshold.
- Adjustments for Part-Time & Shift Workers:
- Employers cannot game the system by classifying more employees as part-time.
- The algorithm accounts for total labor costs rather than just base wages.
✅ Encourages Pay Equity – Aligns workforce compensation with company success.
✅ Reduces Government Dependency – Higher wages decrease reliance on public assistance programs.
✅ Boosts Job Growth – Encourages responsible hiring over inflated executive compensation.
Final Thoughts
The Equity Equation Project is not about limiting ambition—it’s about ensuring economic success benefits everyone. By modernizing taxation and corporate pay structures, we can create a stable, prosperous future while maintaining the innovation and ambition that drive our country forward.
This initiative is a market-based solution, not government overreach. By linking success to broader prosperity, we ensure a system where hard work is rewarded, and wealth contributes to sustainable economic growth rather than unchecked accumulation.
The time for reform is now.
