While I agree there should be regulations regarding the use of tax payer’s money that is given to these institutions (let´s not forget that this is our money bailing out these poorly ran companies), capping compensation may not be best use of that authority. Part of the problem that got use here is all the exorbitant pay for poor performance. I have no issue with pay for execs that are performing well and earning it. The pay needs be justified and balance out with the compensation available to other employees in the company (who are also performing well).
