Our country is run by big business. Weeeeeeee. I like how our Senate only has to wag it's finger angrily at these people in order to get re-elected. Don't actually hold people accountable. "couldn't you take slightly less personal compensation and use that money for the research you claim to be engaged in?" "Since this is an 'up-cycle', can we expect your personal compensations, as the CEO's, to drop when profits go down?" Color me surprised that these questions weren't asked.

We need something akin to the social contract they have in Japan, where it's viewed as dishonorable for a large pay gap to exist between workers and bosses.

But but but... those people EARNED that money. There poor employees could too if they just stopped whining for a minute and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. Emirite?
