Let's start here, show me how CEO's Salaries cause Recessions.

Actually, I would be curious to see if it is even "salaries" that have gone up. Most CEO compensation comes from stock options, and that is what has fueled those huge growths in CEO compensations.
Oh, this is something that most people don't know, but you all should WANT high CEO salaries. The IRS has rules saying that any salary over 1M for a CEO is doubled tax (the corporation cannot deduct it and the executive has to pay income taxes). This means more revenue for the government people!
