Ah, the executive class in need of some strong policing in terms of sign on bonuses and salaries! Nobody should be making that insane amount of cash, especially wantonly participating in unnecessary layoffs like Unity did.
I have no problem with Unity paying him that much. My problem is the income tax system allowing him to keep most of it.
The highest marginal tax rate in the US for individuals peaked at 92% in the early 50s. If we had sane marginal income tax rates at higher income levels, then there would be no problem with executive income. (Granted, we also need to fix taxation on other forms of compensation and capital gains, too.)
