United Airlines CEO calls for a national wealth tax
Original: United Airlines CEO: 'We should have a national wealth tax'
United Airlines chief executive Scott Kirby has said the United States should introduce a national wealth tax, arguing the country is not doing enough to raise revenue from the wealthiest Americans. The comment stands out because it comes from a corporate executive whose company, like most large businesses, would be expected to oppose higher taxes on capital. The remarks are being shared in coverage of the debate over tax policy and inequality.
Why now: A corporate CEO endorsing a wealth tax is unexpected and feeds the ongoing US debate over taxing the rich.
