Red, again, think about it. What tax can you punish a corporation with that they're not going to just pass on to you in the form of higher prices?

I hear what you're saying, but you're confusing the rich people IN a corporation with the corporation itself. They're not the same. Using GAP accounting practices, all of the tricks they try to play to pay themselves will avail nothing, at the end of the day you'll have: Executive X making Y in the shareholders report. Even if the shareholders are dumb enough to vote for an overpriced salary, he's going to have to turn around and pay taxes, as an individual wage-earner.

If your goal is to soak the rich, and it appears to be, you have to go after the rich, not the corporation itself. By the way, 'soak the rich' means you'll see a lot more investment outside of America, but if your goal is to devalue the stock market, by all means, have at it.
