A CEO should be paid *exactly* what the free market is willing to
give him. If you do not like what a CEO makes, tough ***. That is
what the company offers the employee. CEO's do not do anything
illegal by shopping their talents to the highest bidder. You have
something against free agency? Do you prefer totalitarianism? Maybe
something like the 3rd Reich; where they decided who could run a
company, who the company could employ, what the company could sell,
and how much they could pay the employees?




You actually think the stockholders outside of the Board of Directors
really voted to give the CEO $400 million ?

Everyone gets one vote per each share of stock. They get to vote for the
Board of Directors. If they do not like the majority vote; they can sell
the stock and buy stock in another company that voted for a better CEO.
This is capitalism at work. The CEO got what the company was willing to
give him. Nothing more, nothing less. It's free agency in action.
Everyone in this country has the ability to get paid what the market will
allow; even if they chose not to use their sneakers to walk over to the
next company for max money. UAW forklift operators make $103K a year.
ERP consultants make $400K. Football players can make up to $20M.
Whatever someone makes - God bless him/her. IMHO, it's all good. Grab
what you can - tomorrow you could be dead. On an unrelated note - do
you think Ashley Judd is cute? Have you seen her in Twisted?


I have owned lots of stock, and stockholders really have very little say in
the actual compensation of
CEO - in theory they have a say, in reality they are out of the loop and
learn after the fact what the
Board of Directors gave the CEO. Quite often the CEO is on the Board of
Directors of other companies,
who vote to give huge compensation packages to that companiy's officers,
who may well have been on the
Board of Directors of the first company. Its a cozy little society,
everyone giving stockholder $$$ to
each other, while the stockholders watch from the outside. You may think
that is a fine arrangement,
I think it is corrupt and need of regulation.

Yes Ashey Judd is cute as a button. No, I have not seen Twisted.
