I believe excessive salaries should be taxed at a higher rate so those on lower incomes don't have to pay as much.I'm currently reading a book about the The Tonight Show on NBC and it mentions how Johnny Carson signed a contract worth $30 million which for 30 years about was an obscene amount of money. However, NBC was making $140 million from advertising and sponsors connected with the show so in that context you could argue why shouldn't he get paid that much.</blockquote>
