@zer0billionaires I'm curious to know who this "Surely" guy's accountant is, if they even have one, because they're clearly very ill advised. "Paychecks" are OpEx to a business, a cost centre. The assertion "Surely" makes is only valid for shareholders by way of dividends. Those are clearly not "Paychecks", by definition, so this person is clearly very confused and seems to be committing category error, ergo, their statement is logically false.
