Agreed, but isn't that a matter for the board of directors and the shareholders to resolve?
I once had to try and keep order at a board meeting during a shareholder revolt - when the CEO was getting paid HUGE bucks, yet flying the company (and therefore the shareholders' fortunes)into the ground. No violence, but the level of anger and screaming and cursing was amazing.
The CEO found himself unemployed shortly thereafter.
And that should be of concern to the government why, exactly?
"Some CEOs get paid waaaaay too much, even if they do bad work".
...obviously, from the looks of your tag line, you're an a$$ sucking, unemployed, Stalinist slacker that's obviously upset that ANYONE makes more than someone else. You don't understand economics because you went to publick skools and your parents were too busy listening to "Peter, Paul & Mary" and braiding each others hair to realize that they did the world a grave injustice by allowing a child to be born in the midst of such a lifestyle. Good try though!
Agreed- Companies, in my opinion, should take those huge bonuses and spread them out amoung the people lower on the rung- the very people who ENABLE their superiors to do their jobs effectively- I think superiors should be rewarded for jobs well done, but my gosh- it's the people working under them that make or break the company as well- share the winfalls more equally- this creates job appreciation amoung the workers rather than an atmosphere of contempt.

It's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS what a CEO gets paid, unless you are a stockholder of that company.
