When the government uses the people’s money to bail out corporations, fund their research, or provide financial capital via grants or tax incentives, the executives of said company should have restrictions on any and all bonuses, stock options and salary increases. Too many times in our history have failed executives led a company to financial ruin or been dependent on government funds only to enrich themselves with the tax money that kept the corporations afloat. If a company cannot survive or thrive on its own accord, those executives should not and do not deserve their excessive bonuses. There should be severe restrictions to prevent abuse in any instance of the government using tax dollars in the private sector.
