Executive Pay Kenneth Feinberg
Kenneth Feinberg, Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation, wants corporations to pay executives on long-term incentives

washingtonpost.com:

The Treasury Department said it is not looking to limit the total pay executives receive. Kenneth R. Feinberg, President Obama's special master for compensation, wants to change pay incentives, giving executives a greater stake in the long-term performance of their firms. That would mean, for example, smaller up-front cash salaries and fewer perks, more compensation in the form of company stock and a longer wait to receive it.

"Analyst: There's 'No Indication' That Wall St. Is Listening To Obama On Pay Limits"
That is because Wall Street robber barons have no loyalty to our country, they use America as one of their many pawns in their global game of extreme capitalism.
They will not listen to our president, or obey our laws. They sneak through loopholes that their lawyers create for them. They are protected by laws passed by their obedient and paid for congressmen and women. They have impunity to ravage our investment savings, home values, jobs, and taxes in their ceaseless game of greed.
It is time to take America back, and put Wall Street down and back into it's place.
