The only responsibility a CEO has is to the owners of the company, the stockholders. If they can do something legal that will increase value and/or profits, then they would be denying their responsibility if they didn't do it.

The legal corporation entity may be the real culprit behind the decline of American civilization. When a company exists on paper for the sole purpose of obtaining profit with the minimum possible accountabililty then there's bound to be problems. Small mom and pop businesses and small business (less than 500 employees) in general are way more accountable day to day and over time than are large multi national corporations that act more like robber barons.

Ummm, yeah.

I'll believe that when Carly Fiorina gets burned at the stake for destroying tens of billions in shareholder value, then getting rewarded with seven-figure severance packages.

No cheers, unfortunately.
