Salary limit is a sensible measure. And I agree with it in principle. But here is what bothers me: why not fire them?

What is really needed are fresh people who have some comprehension of what they are doing and are not marred by corruption and loyalty to the "old boys club". If there was ever a group of people who have proved their incompetence beyond reasonable doubt....

What is needed is a change of regulation, not more, but new and different. Moral and economically sound regulation. Public misconception is that this happened because of a lack of regulation, the reality is this happened because of the bad regulation implemented by Bush and his lackeys, bad regulation that worked in favor of immoral rich pigs getting richer by what (once you get past the nonsensical language) is essentially fraud and theft.

This people are not fit to run a tobacco shop, let alone a corporation. Giving more money to them is a bad bad idea, salary limit is just a cosmetic measure...and if we deal with this crisis just by implementing cosmetic measures and piling things on top of the crap instead of getting down to work, cleaning the mess and building anew from that......we might as well just shoot ourselves.
