Don,
Yes it is a shame that CEO make millions while the company goes bankrupt.
The problem with limiting someone's income with a federal law is, the US
would experience a major "Brain Drain", with the best and brightest being
paid to work for employers overseas.

Or you get the market bubble and burst as happened under clintoon's
watch........income was simply shifted to stock options...which caused CEO
to shift the focus to raising stock price, like anything else, the market
adjusts to the guvmint sticking its nose in the middle and screwing things
up. Don, being the typical liebral, is a static thinker...and thus
doesn't realize that people change their ways when encumbered by an
additional guvmint burden.

The wage freeze during WWII helped created the current helath care mess as
well

ask Germans who lived during the 40's how quickly the marketplace

to an increase in money supply without an increase in productivity.

Are you suggesting it is ok to create rampant inflation in an effort to
try to give the appearance of helping the less fortunate? After all,
the
old on fixed income have lived a good life, it is more important that
we
give the appearance of helping the poor.



Might be better to just distribute the existing pie better.
example...a law that would limit a CEO's salary to ten times the lowest
workers salary. Those who deserve it would still earn more...the gap
wouldn't be as big. Outrageous that CEOs are leading large companies
into bankruptcy while earning in the millions.
