Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Enough with that “performance” brainwash and false excuses! Pay caps should be more then excellent news to every shareholder: our company’s earnings distributed to us, and not robbed by greedy conspirators. That would be wonderful news to shareholders like me… Congress needs to be way more aggressive in reigning in these white collar criminals who drain company recourses and enrich themselves by maximizing risk taking and driving our companies into the ground.
I would have the executives BUY their own shares, with their own money, if they want to lead my company; hear me out, NO OPTIONS either, unless they buy it, well maybe a 10-15% discount as we all get in good times at the supermarket. That way, freed from the current risk-boosting "own-compensation-maxi... schemes, they would concentrate on making all of us richer, not just themselves.
Sure, as a shareholder, I can accept my company’s CEO getting rich that way, just share the wealth with me, the real owner.
YES! An absolute and resounding YES vote for "Pay Czar" here! The white collar highway robbery needs to stop now! Go Obama, don't be soft, and don't give in to the white collar criminal conspirators.
