If we *GASP* regulate CEOs such that they are, well, actually held responsible for the actions of their companies, for every act of corporate wrongdoing their board engages in, why, the entire business world would fall apart in a twitching fit of imposed corporate responsibility! Their offices and jets would disintigrate into dust!

Why, if we held CEOs responsible each and every time, *gasp* nobody would want to be a CEO, and everyone knows we need CEOs for the business world to function because we need ridiculously well-paid people to make decisions and manage things at that tippy-top level. Oh, and we need to pay them tens of millions of dollars because without them nothing would get done on the factory floor!!

(I don't think that needs a sarcasm smiley... but a bitter cynicism smiley would be awful apropos.)

ed.: it's a twitching fit.
