Executive bonuses have absolutely NO significant effect on the national economy as a whole.

If there was a way that people on Wall Street could earn tens of billions in bonuses by pushing risky securities that endangered the entire national economy, then they would do that.

Oh wait.

Besides, those funds are the stockholders' to spend as they choose.

Stockholders of major corporations basically never have any say in determining executive bonuses.

LOL!

K. It must be the Midichlorians then.

High executive compensation and unethical behavior are two separate issues. Yes, one can affect the other, but one does not require the other.

Wealth is not wickedness.

Government power is FAR more to be feared than overpaid CEOs.
