Subject: Runaway CEO Pay

I am writing as a constituent who is deeply concerned about the growing 
problem of ruanway executive pay and the need to control the excessive and 
outrageously unfair compensation awarded to America's CEOs.  Depite past 
efforts to limit the tax deductibility of executive compensation, the value 
of CEO pay packages continues to skyrocket -- often at the expense of working 
families and our jobs, income and future security.
     
Runaway executive pay should not be tolerated, and certainly not be 
subsidized by America's taxpayers.  That's why I believe that efforts such as 
the Income Equity Act (introduced in the House of Representatives by 
Congressman Martin Olav Sabo) are a step in the right direction.  This bill 
would limit the deductibility of executive compensation and provide an 
incentive for corporations to close the income gap between top executives and 
their employees.  I urge you to support efforts such as the Income Equity 
Act.

Please let me know where you stand on this issue.
