Interesting that they never seem to think the executive suite is overpaid -- for some reasons it's always everyone _else_ who is overpaid.

This talking point is common but really a non issue. At Google for instance, executive pay makes up less than 0.3% of operating expenses compared to 30% of that being for non executive compensation. You can’t pay for a damn thing by taking that down to 0.2% or whatever you’re asking for.
