Executives get paid orders of magnitude more than non-executives, yet never seem to be responsible for the performance of their companies. They should be the first let go when it's time to turn things around. Who else could possibly be responsible other than those running the company?

Another type of privatizing gains and socializing losses, in this case within the firm.
