Character

Unnamed CEO

affluent skilled market-valued

Will Bailey cites an unnamed CEO earning $16.4 million annually as the exemplar of the uberwealthy fourth tax bracket in his lecture to interns on the administration's progressive tax plan. This CEO funds college tuition deductibility for lower earners by paying an extra 1%—rising to 41% total—while doctors, teachers, and workers see relief or stability. Romano defends the CEO's compensation as market-validated skill, underscoring tensions between merit-based pay and redistributive policy.
