The man makes decisions, that is his job, his damn duty, that'S what he already is being payed for - you can be polite and say "thanks" - but already that thanks is not mandatory, for he just fulfills his damn duty for which he additionally already gets payed...!
And who makes that decision? You? Me? I think American senators and congressmen (and the president) are vastly overpaid for what is supposed to be a public service. I would have to convince enough congresspeople that it should be changed, since they are the ones with the power to make that change. It is absolutely not going to happen. So how exactly do you propose making top corporate people make what you think they deserve?

One million income per month - no sports, no show act, no movie, no business is worth it as long as you do not save the planet and bring peace to mankind or find a cure for a lethal epidemic.
Again, exactly how do you mean to change that, without removing all freedom from everybody?
