Clare McCaskill: Reactionary
I'm sure most of you have seen this video;
It's Clare McCaskill calling for Wall Street Salaries and compensation (at bailout receiving companies) to be capped to $400k, which is what the president makes. While I certainly agree that Wall Street types get paid way to much, and I would rather see them make that then what they get now, this is a little absurd, especially from McCaskill, who is a blue dog type and never seems to have cared about this stuff before. In fact, this kind of reactionary thinking is bad and does nothing to solve the real problem of outrageous CEO pay, which affects not just tax payers this year, but everyone with a retirement account all the time.
