He already paid taxes on the compensation! He sold stock that had previously vested and taxes are calculated at the time of vestment. What's so special about the Moderna employees? They already make much more than the median American income. You're redistributing wealth from the ultra rich to the rich. Even if the USGOV took 100% of that $400M, that'd be a whopping dollar per American. History is littered with failed "utopian" communist/socialist states. The ultra rich will always be able to avoid taxes legally or illegally. They're not gonna report income that gets taxed at 90%. The math doesn't work out. If we magically take 400M additional taxes from 1000 individuals annually that wouldn't even cover our federal debt obligations. EDIT: It's telling that you need to resort to quips about goal posts. I suggest you take a moment to read about history and macroeconomics...your brain must be tired from all these mental gymnastics.
