The thing is Sky these corporations are
not dodging taxes like this very biased article implies. They are taking the deductions and exemptions allowed to them by law just like any of us would do, so to imply some wrongdoing on their part is, well, just wrong. I admit that I didn't read the link you're talking about but for a US Senator to badmouth people for just following the
tax law
that he and his fellow Congress critters wrote is pure hypocrisy.
As for how much CEO's are paid, again the article is biased and misleading. What a civilian company wants to pay it's employees, and that includes it's officers, is nobodies business except it's owners and shareholders. End of story. If we ever get to the point of the Federal government setting the pay scales for private citizens, like your article is basically advocating, that is the day it's time to follow Thomas Jeffersons "tree watering" advice.
