Such a simplistic viewpoint. Talent costs money. GM needs to attract top talent for Design, Finance, and negiotiating with the UAW. If GM adopted your idea then it would fail to attract the very people who can save GM. If you had the talent to run GM would you work for GM if they offered you a tenth of the salary of Toyota? or Ford? The UAW got fat and happy when times were good. Times are not good and they need to recognize North America is not the only place GM can build cars.
If shareholders accept the wages paid to the executive then we as fans of GM need to accept the shareholders viewpoint.
