RE:Has your executive team been worth several hundred million ?I will think twice before buying stock in a company that overpays it's board and executives but this is the rule rather than the exception so it is hard to find companies where earnings are not skimmed off in this way.
Attempts by shareholders have been made to limit top remuneration to say 10 X the average salary but they seem to fail. I suspect execs get fund managers on-side to defeat shareholders' motions.
Governments won't do anything either because they are in cahoots with the ruling elites. After all western governments allow business interests to persuade us to part with our money and stuff ouselves with junk food and drink untill we are a wobbling mass of health care dependents ... unable to stand up to a virus.
