You have no idea what you are writing about... It's called Capital Gains tax and it's what the recent fight over the Bush tax cuts are all about. He salary is $1, so assuming no other income, her fed tax bracket is %15, and that would apply to any non-qualified dividends, or increases in her investment portfolio value (i.e. "capital gains"). She has to pay tax on that income, without actually receiving it. Although, given her personal wealth, I don't see it as a real burden to her.

And I don't blame anyone for not giving a **** what you think about how much tax wealthy people need to pay. She is a billionaire and can suck it up. When she starts struggling and has to choose between the house payment or buying groceries, then she can have my sympathies on her tax "burden". Nothing that woman does add any value to any corporation, and they still throw money at her like rice at a wedding. How much do you think the researchers that developed the patents HP filed this year got paid? Or how about the slave labor that slogs into work every day to build their workstations and laptops? ..|. People like her are real "takers", sucking up all the air in room so much that everyone else is choking.
