Congress is populated with some seriously stupid people.
The more capable people would simply take jobs at other companies.
Any stockbroker who brings in four or five million a year in revenue can easily get a job anywhere for a million a year. That is the truth Congress doesn’t want to recognize.
So I’m assuming that “bonuses” are paid when a profit is made. So if this money is paid as a bonus to whiner Executives, couldn’t the companies divvy this up via shareholders and pay dividends with it, which would be taxed instead?? Either way it gets taxed.
