Dems Will Try To Restrict CEO Pay

[red states rule]

I've got no problem with limiting CEO pay, provided its in direct relation to the company's profitability. You want more pay, make your company more profitable. No limits on pay if your company is doing the economy good and you're giving your shareholders good returns on their money.

But there were way too many stories in recent years of CEO's serving only a few months, doing nothing to help the company, but still receiving multi-million dollar settlements for their alleged "service" while their company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Thats direct robbery from the average shareholder in my opinion, who usually has very little power in changing how the company is run.

And I'm certainly against the provision limiting corporate jets, etc. Time is money. If the CEO is using his jet for golfing trips with the wife and kids, thats one thing. But there are legitimate uses for private jets and its a bit of class envy trying to limit them.

So you are for any company, any business, and any individual, getting Federal money to held to the same standards and conditions?

ESPECIALLY those receiving federal money.

But I'm not opposed to putting limits on companies giving golden parachutes to their CEO's when they are in bankruptcy proceedings and sucking their stockholder's dry either.

Haha, I would not call that statement "going out on a limb". Of course they won't put restrictions on their political allies.

If not for double standards -- politicians would have no standards at all. You give Repulicans too much credit.

Oh I have done my share of taking Republicans to task Immie

If the Republicans would have behaved between 2000 and 2006 as they are now, the Dems may not be in power right now
