>1) Percentage of people without shelter, medical care, normal basic amenities? (about the 'floor')

You meant _working_ people, right? The fact that some bums go without food shouldn't affect the salary of a CEO

>2) BOD Rulez (since they are dealing with the public's / investors' capital) - regarding actual competition for CIEIOs. Full disclosure of the cross-pollination whereby CIEIOs sit on each other's BODS and feed each other. Rulez about representation of any Corp on any stock exchange. Family-owned sinecures can do it any way they want. (about the 'ceiling').

BOD? What does that stand for? Also, I thought that salaries are paid out of revenue, not capital. A company that's running at a loss and pays a 7.5 million dollars to a CEO richly deserves to go out of business.

>Hey.. the Constitution gives us the power to regulate commerce

Yes. Commerse being:

1. The exchange or buying and selling of commodities; esp.
the exchange of merchandise, on a large scale, between
different places or communities; extended trade or
traffic.


Not worker's compensation. And, while the bottom is, indeed, regulated (not quite sure about the constitutional basis for that), the top is not, so far.


All that being said, what would _you_ determine to be the maximum fair salary of IBM's CEO? As concrete a question as it gets.
