Odd tax benefits our government decided to implement

Golden parachutes are a form of compensation paid to key executives in the event that a public company is sold and the key executives lose their jobs or have their responsibilities sharply curtailed. These are created to protect executives, but they need to be constructed carefully so that the executive doesn’t face high taxation. Typically, a golden parachute is set up at a time when a merger or acquisition deal is not about to occur.
Our law markers decided to debate and implement tax cuts for the rich so that they pay as much as middle class. This is the government managing our funds

Where are the tax cuts?

Tax cap. Instead if being taxed at top bracket, they limit CEOs who receive this benefit to 20%.
You might be paying more than them

"I should pay less it's poor people that get all the benefit" - middle class
"Rich people should pay more than me, they have the money" - middle class
"We shouldn't tax businesses, they have money but will no doubt give us that money if we don't make them" - some middle class

What I don't get is Carried Interest. This allows hedge fund managers who get a performance based bonus to be taxed at the capital gains rate instead of the ordinary income tax rates.
Why don't commissioned salesmen get the same tax treatment?

So capital gains?
That's not some weird loophole

This isn’t capital gains. Cap gains apply to all of us. This only applies to CEOs of top companies making hundreds of millions

Blissfully ignorant.
The wealthiest 10% of Americans shoulder nearly the entire tax burden.

It’ll never be enough for marxists until there is no private wealth or personal property.
And then, somehow the resulting misery will still be the fault of capitalism.

This same rule also helps you if you’re “packaged out” at work. Happens all the time. It’s not just for the “rich”

This is the opposite of what should happen. Golden parachutes should be taxed at a higher rate.

Because commissioned salesmen don't donate as much money to politicians as hedge fund managers do.

Whether you like it or not.. golden parachutes can be argued as capital gains. This is and will continued to be legislated upon and challenged through the judicial process. When materiel change eg; acquisition and or merger occurs, it’s reasonable to argue that such occurrences trigger payments that have been held on the books in a capital capacity.
