If you'll look even remotely close to how CEO comp works, you'll see that it's not paid out as a wage at all and that those people don't pay even remotely close to tax rate of an average employed person.
I agree with the first sentence, but I don’t think the second sentence is good evidence. Most people in the top 1% of incomes are not CEOs of large corporations.

I'm sure the CEO paid taxes on his pay. 38.5% of federal tax revenue comes from the top 1%.
