Congress to Close Stock Option Expense Tax Loophole?

A CEO is just an employee, with capital at risk incidentally.... the stockholders should set the salary, and the Congress gets to decide how much is deductible... they can still pay him whatever they want.

I am jealous of no one. I do think that some CEOs are probably overpaid, but that's their shareholder's business. How much tax the company pays is definitely Congress's business.
