Mulroney only paid tax on half of Schreiber's $225K
Come to think of it, why are Executive stock options gains taxes at half the rate of income, given no capital is at risk and given this is merely a form of income from employment> Why kind of progressive tax system would see millions in stock option gains taxed at the same marginal tax rate as a person making $25,000 a year? Maybe its all the social good (?) that is served by executive stock options? Just look what stock options did for Bear Stearns or AIG?

Maybe Mulroney thought these were executive stock options gains, taxed at half the rate of income?

The only reason for thinking Mulroney's cash-money revenue stream was $225,000 is that Brian says it was $225,000.
If you were CRA and heard Mulroney say "$225,000" and Schreiber say "$300,000", who would you believe?
If you were CRA knowing that Justice is watching your decision, whose number would you pick?
