Because I think that people should not get $50 Million pay packages on the taxpayer dime, I am not a conservative?

No, because you want the USG to micromanage these companies. And you are missing the larger issue, i.e., the Dems are pissing away more than a trillion dollars in pork that will reward their cronies and constituents and failing businesses that deserve to fail, all on the taxpayers dime not only for the living but their children and their children's children. 17 cents of every federal dollar is now spent on servicing the debt and this will increase significantly because of these "stimulus" bills.

You are falling for the Obama strategy of focussing on these issues [class envy] rather than what is in the bill. Obama used his power to prevent Citibank from buying a $50 million corporate jet. This played well in Peoria, but it wasn't the full story. The new jet was to replace two older ones and decrease operating costs.

I sure as hell want the corporations to operate their own business and not have Obama micromanaging them. Obama has never run anything larger than a Senate office staff prior to becoming President. It is up to the Board of Directors and the shareholders to hold the executives accountable and set salary levels.
