edit: A possibly better option would be to tax executive compensation in a way that you don't tax payroll. Though I don't know enough to suggest the details with that.

Uh, that's easy. Progressive taxation, above whatever amount the % increases drastically.

    That's different. That's based purely on the amount. And I'm not just talking about salary, but compensation, including stock options, expense accounts, and other benefit packages that executives get beyond salary.

    Yeah, and all of these have a value that can be calculated. So tax them on the sum of their compensation + the value of the perks they receive.

    Yah. That's what we're talking about. That's what I said. I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

    You said, when I talked about progressive tax:

    I don't understand what's different then, if we both agree that the taxable base for an individual is their total compensation, not their base salary. I think we might have just talked past one another and essentially agree
