Now you are showing your lack of savvy in the tax code.
For instance, I am allowed to ay myself a salary of $x from bbsam inc. That doesn't mean I have to live on $x per week. I can write myself "distribution" checks which ate taxed differently (lower) than the salary. Why? Because the IRS really does care what something is called.
Taxed lower than the salary? Mitt, is that you? Mitt?
