Agreed, and that is the problem with the lesser of two evils we always seem to be faced with. The lessers get less and the evils get more evil.
I'm a true conservative, and I think a LOT of executives are way overpaid. If I had a meeting with them, I'd tell them they were way overpaid.
If I was king of America, I would NOT sign a rule requiring them to be paid less.
Bush is NOT advocating the government do anything about pay inequity. But you don't have to be a liberal to denounce people getting paid for bad performance, or to point out that pay inequity can be bad for business because it can demoralize workers, making them less productive.
