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.

In the 22 years since my career began, I never once concerned myself with how much someone else was being compensated or whether they deserved that compensation. If I had any complaints at all, it was that someone's poor work was interfering with my own. And whenever I found myself unhappy for any reason, I simply found myself a better gig.
In perpetuating this "income inequality" nonsense, Bush is only reinforcing the perception among some workers that they're not being treated "fairly". It's a crock, plain and simple. If I'm being paid market for my work, I don't care how much the CEO makes.
