Bernie Sanders introduced a bill today ... titled the Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies (Stop BEZOS) Act—would impose a tax on companies with 500 or more employees “equal to the amount of federal benefits received by their low wage workers.” Essentially, this would force large, profitable firms to pay into welfare programs the amount they’re currently getting for free from the federal government.

The Stop BEZOS Act is supported by California Representative Ro Khanna, who last year introduced similar legislation, the Corporate Responsibility and Taxpayer Protection Act.

The government spends more than $150 billion a year on programs that help low-wage workers, Sanders said, citing a University of California study.

Some economists questioned whether the "Stop BEZOS Act" will have the desired effect, noting that it could encourage large companies to avoid hiring workers deemed likely to collect federal benefits.
