Greedy people such as yourself have brought about America's downfall - proud of yourself?

You are avoiding the real issue: The OWNERS OF THE COMPANY are in agreement with paying the CEO the amount they contracted with them for.

As for your statement that a) I'm greedy (you are wrong) b) I'm brought America down (again - you are wrong)

I believe everyone can earn as much as they legally can. That is called freedom.

If the owners of the company don't think their CEO should get paid as much as they do, they have the power to change it.

As I stated before, the 'owners' are the shareholders, and they don't get to vote on the CEO robbery, that's aided and abbetted by the bought and sold board of directors.

They vote on the budget of the company. In that budget are the wages and benefits - including the wages and salary of the CEO. If the shareholders approve of the budget, they are approving of the pay.

And, the Board of Directors are elected by the Shareholders. So you are saying that the shareholders are bribed? Really?

Face Facts - you have income envy. There are people getting far more income than you - have more than you - and you are envious

Ok, lets talk facts....

GE's CEO is making about 20million a year.
They have about 10billion shares, so he gets about 1/5 of a penny from each share outstanding. IF he screws up, or does well...he has an enormous impact on the fortunes of a company with an 11billion market cap.

Oakland Raiders Cornerback Asomugha made 22million last year.

Nike paid Tiger woods 30million last year. (He makes >100million a year)

Stephen King makes >40million a year.

JK Rowling, Oprah....they dwarf the numbers mentioned above.

If you have any fact based comments you would like to add, please do so.

But what would a person like you care about the spirit of the law or about what is fair, what is right? Just steal as much as you can without going to jail is what you and those you defend are all about. Pathetically shallow beyond comprehension.
