Bat Goddess:

While you are regulating those evil corporate executives, do you plan to also regulate the money made by athletes and other entertainers.

You do know that Oprah Winfrey made 275 million dollars last year. Yes, over 1/4 of a US billion in one year.

A baseball player named Alex Rodriguez signed a ten year contract for 25 million per year. Yes, that is 1/4 of a billion in US dollars.

Many executives are overpaid, but they do provide a service by running businesses that provide most of our jobs. Rodriguez just hits a baseball, Madonna pedals soft porn and Oprah Winfrey bores people silly. Talk about overpaid.
