I can't help but wonder about that. Granted a cap may be put on the executive's salary but what about all the money they take off the top in stock options? I know a CEO who gets $7 million a year in salary plus stock options. If he gave up all of his salary, he wouldn't miss it because he exercised $112 million in stock options last year plus he also got a big bonus. It sounds good when Obama says it, but he hasn't done anything until he kills the huge stock options and bonuses along with capping the executive pay. jmo
