>> What Fiorina is missing to notice is that the Govt. as a protector of taxpayer interest has a duty to ensure that taxpayer monies are not wasted on perks, bonuses and salary increases of CEO's of those companies who have failed to meet performance. =================================== Commentary: Government shouldn't decide executive pay ...contd at cnn.com Chinu she is another one who is simply not worth listenting to. She has one of those sociopathic personalities. I put her right up there with Billy Crystal. Nasty woman. Do not try and make any sense out of her/

Since corporations have failed to self-regulate executive pay (400-500 times average worker pay versus 40 times 30 years ago) the public has to step in. If the public (government) had stepped in to regulate the shadow banking system and the mortgage industry even 5 years ago we wouldn't be sitting atop this ridiculous mess. Corporate management and boards of directors have to prove that they can be trusted. They have a fiduciary responsibility to act responsibly, not just grease upper management's pillage scheme.
