How about this?

Currently, pay role is a deduction for all corporations, an expense that they don't have to pay taxes on.

How about a law that states Corporations may not deduct the top 10% of wage earners salaries or other compensation?

If they want to pay enormous amounts to their executives, let them, but don't let them deduct it. The more they pay their executives, the more they will have to pay in taxes to support society.

1% ers will jus take the stock option instead of the salary.. which is why a flat tax that does not address capital gains will not work.

That's why I said "and other compensation". Even stock options have a value. If the option's strike price is X and the current trading value is Y, the option is currently worth Y - X. If an option was given to the employee as compensation, incentive or bonus, then the options value should be included as real income when they do the calculation.

Just wait for ways they try to get around the new system and plug up the loop holes.
