This is the horror of the 1920’s being relived again. Tell me where in the Constitution does this idiot find the right of the the government to force corporate shareholders to approve/disapprove CEO Compensation?

I can't believe this.

The corporation is a creation of the government, and is not mentioned in the Constitution.

The corporation has no right to exist at all, and may be regulated by a simple majority vote in the legistlature. The government can allow or prohibit just about anything.

“Dear Senator McCain, After having been a staunch supporter of the Republicans for many year, including GW Bush in 2000 and 2004, you will note that I have not contributed a dime to THEM or YOU since 2006. Please note that I am not giving YOU any support whatsoever in 2008, primarily due to brain farts like this. Sincerely, Tom the Oppressed”.

The way I read it, this proposal will GIVE shareholders the right to approve/dissaprove executive compensation.

Personally, I think that's a good idea.

I’d love to know who is advising McCain. Did someone come up with this nonsense for him or did he dream it up himself?
If he came up with it himself, is there not one conservative on his staff who could inform him that what he proposes is illegal?
