  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.

      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.

      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
