If the CEO is incompetent while making $100 Million, then what?

You think a member of Congress is capable to judge the competency of a CEO. Think you are?

Personally, I think those who are stockholders in the company should be the judge. Now, if the government wants to get a few seats on the board of directors to be a part of the decision making process in return for the chunk of change they put in, I'm fine with that.

Would love to hear you and others if we subsituted “GM” for “Wall Street”

My answer would be the same. Except, in GM's case, at least until recently, it was the UAW instead of the government, who was meddling where it shouldn't have been. Now, its both and more people will be out of work because of it than if GM had busted the union like they should have years ago.

“Personally, I think those who are stockholders in the company should be the judge.”

You don’t get it.

Stockholders have ZERO say in the compensation packages of execs. These are determined by Compensation Committees, which are NOT acountable to the shareholders, the so-called owners. That needs to change.

That's actually what they did when they forced companies to take money and in return demanded stock in return and became part owners.

You didn't really mean your fine with government dictating rules to private companies after they forced them to take money, did you?
