I don't know how a small investor or an individual with a retirement plan can do that. Corporations accepted the controls when they decided to play in the big kids pool.
I understand not every decision can be made in a centralized manner but I think a progressive personal income tax is the right thing to do.
If you do own stock, then get enough shareholders together to vote on executive compensation.
That's the proper mechanism. If you can't get enough shareholders to change things, then I guess it's not that big of a problem to most.
The other option is just don't own stock. That's your choice.
