"Getting a tax break means less of it is taken away, but it doesn't generate the profit or the compensation" Let's not be silly....the tax break certainly does generate compensation for the exec's..... "that doesn't mean the money comes from the government, or from "the public" If the public or government don't get the tax money it would get from fair taxation, it certainly does mean it's coming from the public...... "If the current structure of the deal is no longer allowed to get capital gains tax rates then they will restructure the deal to make it an actual direct capital gain, or they will find some other way to reduce tax liability. " You mean they will find another way to cheat or game the system......to you this is moral....
