How to Stop CEO Greed?

Some government cap? Nope.
Some crazy tax law that punishes people for making too much? Crazy idea - no.

What then? Shareholders rights!

Shareholders should not only know what their executive boards make through yearly statements, as a current rule change suggestion the SEC is considering, but should be able to vote on these crazy $400 M parachutes.

The two new laws I support the most are the Employee Free Choice Act and this.
