I think it is a smart way to handle it and it would work for some CEO/founders however, some founders operate as board members that still influence much of the direction and operation without the same possibilities for pay rate increases to cover the gains. I think this could work under specific ownership scenarios but, for high p/e ratio companies this will likely requires ownership sales.

It would likely increase pressure for stocks to pay dividends at a rate that covers taxes on the gains. Which would probably be a good thing.
