KT: Lets say the company has a stock incentive plan allowing the employees a 15% discount. IRS was going to charge the fica/medicare on the 15% under theory its wages. There were a couple of others as well.

<<How do they value the suckers to take out taxes? >> If they can't value them then what friggin' right do they have to be giving them out? How do you decide whether to give away 1 or 1,000 godzillion options if you can't value them? CEO, his lawyer and the comp consultant know EXACTLY what the options are worth, same way that ARod, Scott Boras and Tom Hicks know exactly what ARod makes every year (and whatever it is its not enough, at least as long as they're paying that stiff Chan Ho Park more than a dollar).
