I don't know if it's more important to honor contracts of set a precedent that the people will not stand for executives to be enriched despite poor performance. My point is this: If we are going to hold corporate executives to this standard (that they should not financially benefit, if their company fails or performs poorly), what about our government's executives? I personally believe our governmental leaders (the President, Senators, Representatives) are underpaid (when you consider only salary). But, many are able to enrich themselves though other means related to their service (speaking fees, book deals, post career lobbying, etc).
