Since roughly the mid-1980s, the American public corporation has been run primarily for the purpose of creating vast wealth for its senior executives....I would dearly love to know what is conservative about such behavior.

I'm not sure the desire to acquire wealth differs amongst liberals and conservatives. The issue is the solution, and letting the market deal with these things is the conservative solution. Compensation can't be legislated, particularly in a global market.

The problem is the market did not deal with this...CEO’s essentially looted companies driving them into insolvency. I don’t want caps (unless you are bailed out), but this sort of behavior is going to destroy capitalism.
