SC ping.
But the pay czar wants to reduce salaries, so exactly who will qualify to pay this tax in the future? Politicians? No, they don’t really pay taxes, so who?
Just like the AMT only covered the “very rich” back in the 70’s, now it covers pretty much anyone making a decent living.
Exactly and the celebs; politicians, WH, government workers won’t even blink an eye because they will be exempt including this POS bill.
