I’m afraid you are confused.
No one I have is defending these “crooks”. What we are upset about is a President single handedly deciding the wages of an invidual. Period.
And you are a fool if you think it will stop with CEOs.
Sorry, these crooks are responsible to no one. Don’t say the stockholders - the system is so gamed that stockholders are voiceless. You have never been around a directors meeting in these companies if you think that stocks are a democratic process.
These guys won’t police or discipline themselves. If they don’t like wage caps, let them quit and try to pick up with some other company. With their track record of failure, they’ll find out how indispensible they really are.
