If the stockholders and directors don't do their jobs, replace them. It is fundamentally not the government's job to determine how much I, you or anyone else in the civilian sector is paid.

McCain is correct- these severance packages, stock options should be voted on by the stockholders- not the board of directors who want to feed their own pockets... exactly--i whole-heartedly agree... and neither should the Congress vote on their own salaries and pay raises...
To: Grunthor
You notice that the true McCainiacs never have the ba!!s to show up on these threads and defend that POS? Too busy writing daily Obama fearmonger posts- "Vote McCain or Else" to be concerned with Johnny's socialistic manuevers to woo the sheeple.

That may or may not be warranted, but the headline was misleading. I have issues with the federal govt over stepping State law in regarding corporate law, but I at least read the article before spouting off.

So the idea is really OK, it’s just the way someone spins it, that’s bad?

I wish he had switched parties McCain-Lieberman v. whoever the Rep’s put up would be an election that would make me rest easy at night.

Actually State laws do regulate this activity, generally, in the absence of any given setforth regulations and policy. I have federalism issue with this, but the concept is not new.

“I was joking around.”
I know. I wasn’t offended. Easy to miscommunicate on forums. Actually, I thought it was funny, and have sent people links to rif.org. :)

Since it's not a perfect world, you support government intervention and regulation in the private sector?

He’s going to reform state law & bylaws of corporations to insist that all compensation be voted on by the shareholders? Why is this the federal governments concern? Is it only for execs that leave a company, or will he insist that Bill Gate’s continued compensation be voted upon too. What about all those nasty capitalists that run privately held businesses. Who gets to reign them in?

Then how is it that the headline is misleading. If the fed forces corporate policy changes across the country, that is a regulation.

This is peeing in the wind. Obviously you won’t be swayed. You believe that when someone ascends to the executive level, they should be free to steal, er, appropriate, as much as they humanly can. The owners, shareholders, should have no say.
I disagree. I get to vote on all kinds of things, why not let me vote on CEO compensation for a company I own?
Hmmmmm, not allowing the owners of a business to have a say in how it’s run. Nice.
You want some real regulation?! Wait until President Obama takes a look at your corporations.

Slick Willie, Inc....gotta wonder how much that CEO makes? Time to regulate former and current politicians income also?

That's a nice post facto spine on the headline, but according to the reaction of people here at FR, the headline made it sound like McCain was proposing GOSPLAN.

Somebody tell Juan that it is none of the government's business what a CEO makes.
It sure as hell is when that company is the beneficiary of corporate welfare. If corporate CEO's don't want regulation let them play by the same rules as the rest of us.

There was a daffy Minnesota congressman who wanted to link corporate employee with the CEO’s, on a percentage basis. It was the ultimate in Donk envy and meddling.
