    taxes on companies only mean that you will pay more for their products.

      Taxes mean the government can provide more services. Excessive executive pay only means you will pay more for products.

        Maybe instead of creating new taxes they can limit executive pay?

          I wouldn’t mind the taxes so much if the government weren’t so intentionally bad at spending them.

            Exactly. They probably would never need to raise taxes again if they instead improve how they spend them.
