| If CEO salaries are tied to risk . . . |
|
OK, we've all heard the clap-trap that the "reason" that CEO salaries MUST be so high is that they're taking on a greater share of the risk in running their companies. OK, assuming we buy that, doesn't it also stand that risk is a two-sided sword, and if the company doesn't go down then their salaries shouldn't be so high? If Paulson & the other * cronies want their $700b bailout, fine, BUT NOT A PENNY GOES TOWARD UPPER EXECUTIVE SALARIES!! That's why they call it risk.
Silly me, there I go just being a logical liberal again!

| 3. IF they were truly accepting more "risk" they would be personally |
|
financially responsible for the losses. THAT would be fair.
