Carl Icahn's asinine screed in favor of shareholder activism from today's WSJ included this knee slapper:
Is it fair that CEOs make 700 times what the average worker makes, even if the chief executive is doing a terrible job and thousands of workers are laid off?
Don't you just love it when billionaires (Icahn is worth over $20 billion!) get all populist on you? Personally, I find political punditry by populist plutocrats preposterous.
