are you retarded? that's like someone bitching about the free government cheese they got because it wasn't brie. Sorry if YOU want to give these guys more of YOUR money go write them a check. They've already got enough of mine. These companies rather lay off 1000 workers making 30,000 a year than cut some guys pay from 50 million to 20 million which is the same amount. And let's face facts the higher up in managment you are the dumber you are. That's why they are in mangement. If they could do actual REAL work they'd be doing it. They put them in mangement to lessen the damage.

they took tax money,its not like he is telling apple or google what to pay their team.these people wouldnt have job if they didnt get the government bailout.

They shouldn't cap the wages. They should fire anyone that is worthless and hire people who have a proven track record with recent accomplishments.

and they aren't going to work for free.

That's the thing right there, isn't it... without the bailout, they'd be making $0 and have to go find work elsewhere anyway.

They failed, they should be happy they are making anything at all.

Those execs that are worth more will simply go elsewhere to a company that will pay them what they are worth.

.

"What they are worth" are you for real ??? These asshats put these companies into bankruptcyy, !!!! My fucken dog could do that for free. These so called executives are failures in business and should be nothing more that McDanalds employees.

There will always be someone willing to do the job cheaper.. doesnt mean they are less competent. The previous CEO's proved incompetent at their ridiculous salaries and lavish spending.

Who the fuck balks at 500K? Sorry, but they could still live the lavish life on half of that.
