The upper income tax bracket. That way we won't get confused (quit laughing!) between executive compensation and corporate revenues.
How about simplify the tax code and stop giving bankrupt companies public money they use to award bonuses? I'm just looking for a symbolic, moral victory here. I've given up on actually changing anything.
Like I said earlier, this isn't so much about TooGodDamnMuch, it's about tax policy. They can make as much as they want, as long as they pay the piper. This is about a marginal difference in taxation, that's all. That is why it is so frustrating. Who knew that communism was now the act of raising taxes? I guess every government that ever existed is now a communist one.
G.E. CEO makes a lot less for doing a lot more (as I'm sure he would say). But then his company didn't pay any domestic income taxes either. It's hard work slashing U.S. jobs after getting tax credits to create them!
It's much harder to make money when you're in the business of making actual things. Insurance is just paper and services. Lots and lots and lots of paper, which you get to charge for. When you're selling nothing, you can price everything. It's called the middle-man way.
"Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?
