If you study the growth of bonuses, you might rethink what is fair, and what is stockholder rape. If a CEO made billions in profit, and was paid even a 10 million dollar bonus I would not object. If he lost billions and was paid millions, I’d be concerned. If he lost billions and accepted the tax payers help and was paid millions, I’d demand OUR money back.

This is why I think stockholders should have more direct control over executives’ salaries. Not the government.
Stockholders will be willing to reward those who make them money, but not those who drive the company into the toilet.
