Well argued.

It was his foolish argument in the first place. He gave no evidence for it, I was explaining how he was wrong. If you require further elaboration, it's quite simple.

CEOs pay is often tied into to how well the stock performs (I'm sure this is the government's fault). CEOs want money (I'm sure this is the government's fault). CEOs will thus often make business decisions that result in short term growth, including cooking the books, so as to look better in the short term and make more money (I'm sure this is the government's fault).
