Somebody tell Juan that it is none of the government's business what a CEO makes.

Why doesn’t McCain just switch parties and get it over with?

McCain also said that he was going to end corporate welfare....major plus....way to go McCain...finally....

[mysterio]

I have no problem with this as long as the salaries of congress and the president are made equal to the median salary of working Americans (including illegals.) Also, I’d like their health coverage to be switched to the M-plan and their retirement should be social security.

"Somebody tell Juan that it is none of the government's business what a CEO make"

He's been around enough to understand that concept. He rejects it.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

F’ing meddler. Its the shareholders and directors business what the CEO makes.

[pissant]

What does he consider to be corporate welfare?

[stuartcr]

I think that idea will no longer be valid in the future.

Presidental hopeful McCain is talking the talk.

It's time for God-fearing, America-loving so-called silent majority to let liebrals know we are walkin the walk!!!

This is the guy Freepers want conservatives to support?

Why should he? The GOP has moved left with him.

IBTMBW. They will be here shortly to denounce corporations and proclaim that the government really should be regulating CEO renumeration (and then there is the, "but this plan does not call for government regulations of corporations, it only calls for government regulations of the executive-shareholder relationship, which is not a real regulation, but instead is the free-market conservative kind that will help defeat the terrorists").

“Somebody tell Juan that it is none of the government’s business what a CEO makes.”

Actually, this is where the government can and should make a difference. But the approach is wrong.
Regulating pay of CEOs? Bad idea, very bad.
A better idea is looking into the relationship of CEOs to boards of directors.

And under my reforms, all aspects of a CEO's pay, including any severance arrangements, must be approved by shareholders," he will say.

Don't trust MSM headlines

"Americans are right to be offended when the extravagant salaries and severance deals of CEOs ... bear no relation to the success of the company or the wishes of shareholders,"

Someone should inform this jerk that the stockholders elect the Board who approves executive salaries.

If the stockholders don't like executive pay, sell the stock.

Someone tell me why that’s bad?
