If the goverment passed legislation to tax my base salary at 90%, you're damn right I'd be pissed. On the other hand, if my company was in such dire straights that it had to be bailed out by the goverment, and only my bonus -- not my salary -- was taxed at 90%, sure I'd be annoyed (who wouldn't be?), but I wouldn't quit because I'd recognize the unusualness of the circumstances. Of course, I would never be stupid enough to agree to a $1 base salary, so I'd have a lot less on the line than this guy.
