Disagree, and I'll tell you why, using one of the oldest examples in our nation's history. Gen. George Washington refused a salary for commanding the Continental Army. He did, however, asked to be reimbursed for his expenses. As I understand it, George lived *quite* well even through the Winter of the Bloody Sevens. Bring back the 90% tax bracket, and suddenly expense rules get *quite* liberal.
In other words, people *will* find a way around the rules.
