Trump says high CEO pay is a joke, 'disgraceful'
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Sunday blasted the high salaries of chief executives as a joke and a disgrace and said these were often approved by company boards stacked with the CEO's friends.
Trump, a real estate mogul who has said he plans to use his net worth of $8.7 billion to fund his White House campaign, said in an interview with CBS' "Face the Nation" that it was hard to tackle the question of corporate pay.
"It's disgraceful, sometimes the boards rule but I would probably say it's less than 10 percent, and you see these guys making enormous amounts of money, it's a total disgrace.
He edging toward a valid point made in one of Perot's lectures.
