Executive Compensation - no need for complexity

SEC Commissioner Gallagher uses time-worn excuse of  'sheer complexity' of executive compensation to put smokescreen over efforts to reform (curtail) top pay.
Thisshows how little he (or the SEC) understands the frustrations of (well-informed) shareholders, employees and citizens. Economies functioned perfectly well during the post-WW2 expansion without gimmicky compensation. One number should be enough – basic salary. All other perks (pension, options, bonus) should be based on the number for ALL EMPLOYEES of the business. This is a long-standing proposal by Pro-Governance and other parties involved in the corp gov discussion are invited to follow suit.
