Then you're a shareholder - great, you're precisely the sort of person whom I was speaking of - so there's no need to get yourself all twisted up. As a result, if you don't like what the CEOs of the companies you are invested in are getting paid, you have two options: (1) convince enough of your fellow shareholders to demand that the CEO get paid less, or (2) get out of that stock.

Demanding that the government "do" something for you is not a viable alternative, in no small part because, once the government does something for you, it is only a matter of time before the government does something to you, as the disaster known as Obamacare should have made abundantly clear.

Read my posts and you might even read this Newsweek article, there is NO HINT of any demand for government action.

There are lots of QUESTIONS, which is a natural reaction in the scheme of things given how the performance of companies are so out of whack with CEO compensation.
