But then again, they are sociopaths and incapable of compassion and fessing up to their incessant major screwups. and stop outsourcing. tax the company. limit the greed. if they cannot live on 1 or 2 millions per annum, tough nougies (how to spell that word?).

The compensation for the exe/s is out of hand because the boards are not common stock holders anymore. Thanks to mutual funs and retirement plans handeled by the same crooks that pick the board members that pick the chief officers of the companies. They use the little guys money to make themselves very rich, thank you very much. 2. When the country ie. congress lowered the exessive top tax it started this greed at the top. Raise the tax on those making over a million dollars to 60% and over 10 million to 80 % and it will bring reality back to the business world. That way they either invest and rebuild or pay it to the general fund. Investment brings jobs. It is all about GREED folks a basic human factor and it is set free right now.

However, if "we" take an ownership position, "we" should have a say-so proportional to the ownership position just like any other shareholder. The thing that is really aggravating is that corporate boards do not take seriously their fiduciary responsibilities to the shareholders (aka owners). While lots of us have a stake in US companies, it is primarily through mutual funds and they too do not look out for their sharholders and generally go along with whatever compensation plan put forward by the Board. There's is where we need to see some changes. I’m not for government control on compensation even when government loans/guarantees are provided.

In fact it is such a good idea for the Federal Government to set limits on salaries - why won't we do it for everyone in America? That way nobody will make more than their fair share.
