Compare this to how Poor Joe is treated. Poor Joe makes $7/hour but if his CEO screws up, Poor Joe gets layed off and has to use up his savings to survive. Meanwhile, CEO walks away with a few million for screwing up. Poor Joe is certainly accountable for the CEO's errors, but the CEO is not accountable for his or her errors. Yes, this is pathetic. I recall a story in a local paper a few years back about a person who robbed a convenience store for $3000 I think it was, and was sentenced to I believe a year in prison. Yet Ebbers, Lay, Winnick, etc all walk with the aid of lawyers who know how to maneuver the system. There should be instant and harsh penalties for gross malfeasance. One trains a dog by an instant slap on the snout when they do something bad, lest they forget why they were hit in the first place. A similar system needs to be imposed for these greedy execs.
