Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri wants no one in a bailed-out company to be paid more than the President of the United States. Of course, she is absolutely right.
Indeed, she should go further in newly and mercifully post-Reaganite America, demanding and introducing legislation to the effect that no one at all should be paid more than the President, that no company should be permitted to pay any of its employees more than ten times what it pays any of its other employees, that the whole public sector (including, of course, the President) should function as a single entity for this purpose and have its median wage fixed at the median wage in the private sector.
Substitute the Prime Minister for the President, and exactly such legislation should also be demanded and introduced here in the United Kingdom.
