Hopefully this isn't too OT but what about the huge pay checks, bonus' and severence pay, the fat Daddys that run these companies continue to get?

I will never understand the concept. If my business loses money that year I surely don't get paid. Where is the logic in this, let alone the fairness?
Isn't there a country, maybe Sweeden or something, that has rules where the CEO of a company can only make a certain amount of money more than the lowest paid employee? As much as love capitalism and have enjoyed the fruits of my labor this sure sounds like a decent idea to me especially because in my experience some of the lowest paid employees have the hardest jobs anyway.
