    Honestly, DIBs, do you think “incentive” is only monetary?

    If you’re making say $1 mil and paying 25% tax and your new salary is $5 mill, how much harder will you work under the low tax vs high tax scenario? Will it be any different? I suspect most CEO’s don’t work that hard at all. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

    Are you serious??

  2. m4l, remind me later or tomorrow to tell you about the Cheever Place house I saw this weekend that might work for us (NH). Also, I’ve done a complete 180 on One Brooklyn Bridge Park — to my shock, I totally loved the units.

  3. Do you have any idea the hours that most investment bankers put in??? And most CEOs and divisional presidents, etc work long, long weeks.

  4. nobody making over $1mm is paying 25%…much more. you were talking about imposding egregiously high rates on over $1mm and don’t tell me you weren’t.

    stay on topic
