Abstract

[W]ith the record of corporate executive wrongdoing at dramatic levels, the government is concerned about giving corporate executives more leeway and making litigation against them more difficult. With Wall Street bonuses in the $40 billion range, Mr. Paulson is worried that Wall Streeters are not treated well enough. With executive's pay in the stratosphere, not even counting what they steal in options, the government is worried that things are too tough for them.
