"it is very clear that executive pay is one motivating factor in the ability for US companies to raise capital as needed" WTF does this even MEAN, Dave? I certainly never invested in a company because their executives were paid ridiculous, obscene amounts of money. I'd be LESS inclined to invest in such companies. As for limiting the pay of rock and sports stars, it's a great idea! Why should either of these groups be more rewarded than the scientists and engineers that create our modern world?
