Elizabeth Warren Holds Hand Off Rally in Washington, DC

Video Description

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, (D-MA) introduced a bill that would pay Social Security recipients a one-time stipend designed to offset the absence of a cost of living adjustment in 2016. Investment News reports, Warren's plan calls for the elimination of a tax break that allows companies to write off CEO bonuses, freeing up the money to pay those on Social Security. The payment, which would equate to $581 per Social Security recipient, is the equivalent of the average 3.9% raise received by the top 350 CEOs, the press release states. Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, (I-VT) is among the 16 senators (15 Democrats and 1 independent) co-sponsoring the bill, Investment News says. A study composed by the Forte Foundation discovered women now make up about 36% of all business school students, up from 32% four years ago. In addition, 12 of the foundation's 36 member schools, including Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, Harvard Business School, University of Pennsylvania's The Wharton School and Yale School of Management, all have 40% or greater women's enrollment. "Every percentage point gain is not only hard earned, but something to celebrate, and should go a long way in building the senior leadership pipeline at companies and on boards," noted Elissa Sangster, Executive Director of the Forté Foundation.
