If I read the article correctly, any "regulation" would be done by shareholders. I swear that some freepers can't read and then get swept up in the emotion of their misreading and the posted comments take off from there.
McCain knows perfectly well that neither he nor the Congress alone or in tandem can dictate salaries or force shareholders to set salaries and benefits for employees.....in any private corporation or business.
He's employing the traditional political strategery that all candidates do...i.e., in this case, riding a wave of popular revulsion at thieving, conniving CEOs of today. It's a campaign tactic and a bully pulpit sort of thing.
If McCain has stated ANYWHERE that Congress should pass legislation, direct or indirect, that mandates what the income of CEOs or janitors should be, please point them out to me, or forever hold your peace.
No, I'm not a McCaniac. I was one of the original FRedheads on this board.....and still am.
P.S....never, ever trust Reuters.

Perhaps McCain / Feingold? Afterall the SCOTUS upheld it, so it must be constitutional.
These are excerps from a speech for today. So we will have the quotes later.
You nailed it...
Freepers don’t read the article, just the MSM headline...
Well said, also a former FredHead, agree with you 100% on all points.
