Yes, it would be nice to see a few thousand greedy CEOs go to prison.  But there's just one problem:

It's not illegal for a board of directors to award CEOs disproportionally to what they contribute, and it's not illegal for CEOs to bargain with their employers for better wages.  As long as they can keep the average worker from trying to bargain for better wages, the board is going to be happy.

What we really need is an attitude shift in this country away from an authoritarian oligarchy and back to what our country's founders envisioned: the power of the people.
