I don't think people understand the differences of small business and large corporations. They do not operate the same, nor is the owner/employee relationship the same. It's unlikely someone at a Fortune 100 company is volunteering to take a little less money for something else (it's even less likely it would be offered), but that scenario is highly plausible at a small business and might make complete sense for both sides.
Let's say that's all true.
That's not what Mike is saying.
Mike looked at this plan:
income 0-35k tax rate 0
income 35k-75k tax rate 10
income 75-some other number tax rate 20
and argued that business owners would manipulate salaries to take advantage of the tax brackets.
It's literally the weirdest argument that I've ever seen anyone make here. Primarily because it doesn't make any sense at all.
