While I believe paying the CEO 50X what the average worker makes is excessive, letting the state intrude would be a disaster. Excesses have a way of working themselves out.

What I find appalling are these guys who run a company into the ground then get paid millions just to leave.

Actually, that has some value for the astute investor. You could have picked up Pfitzer at 20 and change because of the guy they had. Good dividend, too.

I agree with you, not something I want the government involved in...this is up to the board of directors and stockholders of these companies to straighten out.

That tells me there's a supply problem. Being a CEO must be a pretty tough job since since it looks like good ones are hard to find.
