    Imagine if the law was no more can be spent in corporate executive compensation than the company pays in taxes. Idk if that’s a good idea for small corporations, but it’s a jumping off point.

          As much as I like the idea it aint exactly a clean cut rule, a lot of companies operate on slim marjins due to loans or just that being how it is so taxing income could fuck over way more than just the greedy assholes. I do think taxing based off of stock prices should be a thing, the stocks reflect the physical value right? That means they should be able to pay the taxes.

            I mean, when I pay my taxes, it’s based on how much money I earned, not how much money I have left over at the end of the year.

            If the argument is “Corporations are people, my friend” they should be paying an income tax, same as anyone else.

      It makes sense. More income, more bonus. It would also prevent companies from handing out bonuses while operating at a loss.
