You see, if they passed the stock options expense law, then what they would deduct from the income statement is the amount of tax benefit that accrues to the company from the exercise of stock options.

I assume you are referring to the Levin/McCain bill. How did you arrive at this conclusion? Of course the tax benefit from exercise of stock option is nowhere near the options expense as estimated by Black Scholes and is generally nowhere near the actual option expense as determined upon exercise. We have had quite long discussions as to what the impact of the Levin/McCain bill would be on Ron's thread, but unfortunately we have not been able to come to an agreement. I think the bill has already been killed by Silicon Valley execs bribing our legislaturers anyway.
