Equidable Economic Values help Everyone

Equity:
If a person is able to reap the benefits of our system to the rate of 10 times what another who works equitably as hard reaps, he should 'equitably' pay a 10 times higher rate in taxes.

In addition and similarly, but much harder to calculate:
If a person like a CEO benefits at a higher rate from paying an inequitably lesser rate to his/her laborers, who often work at a MUCH harder rate to make a rate MUCH less, the person/CEO should give that back equitably in proportionately higher taxes as well, or better yet, in equitable Bonus payment back to his laborers.

The resulting increased money in more hands returns the benefit to the economy and the company, so that all do better when rewarded equitably.

CEOs that think equitably rather than greedily are better for our country over the long run, and are happier in a more equitable society. So let the CEOs who think greedily go elsewhere!

Does this make sense, or how do I word it better?
