to pick on bob iger anymore than other ceos especially accessible one.is an agent for the shareholders. so pick a salary, pick a good salary, even give him some incentive and forms of stock, and then pay it to him, and if he does not want that money but him go start a company is obviously do. but he does not need to be paid that multiple over what everybody else is paid for doing the shareholders bidding as opposed to entrepreneurs. >> kept the shoulder share him out. if you're treating a company and you don't like what the board is deciding what the executive should be paid, you dump their stock. >> impracticality they don't because the system is rigged in their favor. you could, but it doesn't happen that way. almost ever. >> there's a little bit of don't hate the player, hate the game. the bottom line, gary is right in a sense, if you took the whole salary of this guy in a distributed to the employees, it would be $300 or $400 in a play. there is no way all those employees will add as much value. that said it's a crazy game with her over paid for top

i don't think bob iger's a bad guy. we are inside a structure that creates this.g a great job so what does it say about the system that rewards him to that degree and puts somebody that's working for him in a much different position. i would agree except i wouldn't call out the people, not that abigail was doing that, but i wouldn't call out the people. i would call out the system and say what do we have to change about the system. >> i sat on some compensation boards or committees on boards that i think are failing in their duty to the shareholders, because you know, it's almost like a pyramid scheme, you know. they're mad at me already. you know, this guy made $5 million, then my guy's got to make $6 million. half of it isn't even based on performance. i have seen ceos that have gotten paid huge packages a year while they are still employed, you know, and their stock has lost money and their revenues are down, and it's not based on a system that really ties it back to not just performance but also, you know, every ceo has to say well, i could never be doing this
