Is that revenue, or profit? If revenue, it'll slam certain kinds of high-volume low-profit businesses, and if it's profit then the company will just arrange to have big compensation "expenses" for executives.

The latter would have to be backstopped by taxes on individual income.

revenue, obviously, but maybe it would scale with employee numbers... if you have lots of employees, you get taxed less.
