Just the mere mention of tying executive pay to avg worker salary, publishing figures on exec pay and using the word "justify" in the same sentence, etc. may give those unwashed peasants ideas. Can't have that. No sir. Protect job creators.

In fact, isn't it telling that the new RW unofficial official talking point is that we're in this economic mess because excessive regulation has strangled American business and forced jobs overseas. Of course, the opposite is true, but that's the point -- confuse people with the exact opposite of the truth. This is also a great tactic to divide people.
