I agree. Public corporations should be required to get public (ie. shareholder) approval before handing out these executive packages. This makes common sense to me.
While I still dislike McCain and still won’t vote for him, I think it’s wrong to have a knee-jerk reaction to this issue. And when you can’t see that we do have a corporate executive problem, I do believe that’s knee-jerk support of the status quo, as opposed to a true belief in capitalism. There is indeed a fundamental flaw afoot when men get paid like kings while the company under their leadership is foundering.

I am voting for him. It’s a choice between McCain and Obama. It would have been better if we had a choice between McCain and Reagan, but we don’t. Earlier, I swore that there was only one candidate on the GOP side I would not vote for, and that was McCain. I changed my mind. Even sent him $100. We’ve gotta vote for the best we’ve got, and regrettably, it’s him.
