So anyone selling $1,000,000 vested stock options (or any appreciated asset) held for less than 365 days is an idiot and didn't think it needed to be said that the Uber wealthy are not idiots so they hold for one year to get the lower LT Cap Gains rate. The LT Cap Gains Rate is 20%. Add the 3.8% ACA Tax for a total federal taxes of 23.8%. If they live in CA there would be another 14% LT Cap Gains for a total of 38.1%. I'm assuming a cost basis of $0 on this calculation. I'm also assuming this is the only income they generated for the year. How man Uber wealthy generate ordinary income? Very few. It's mostly passive/investment income. They are not W-2 Employees like most. Compare that to if they WERE a W-2 Employee making $1,000,000 of MAGI and living in CA they would have an effective tax rate of 42%. So in the first example of not paying employment tax (FICA/SDI) they save themselves $40k in taxes worst case scenario again seeing my example is a CA resident. More importantly and the purpose of my first post was to point out they are not funding SS or Medicare.
I understand this much better than you appear to so yes the rest of your post was gibberish.
