Any income paid out is already taxed as income though.

This is silly and false. Corporations that inflate management expenses will generate less profit for shareholders. I don't think any shareholders would like that idea.

It’s also a short-term playbook and has become a national security issue.

I’d love to see retro-active clawbacks for the CEOs and their teams that have dumped the problem on the current generation.
