Our economy can't be left to CEOs

Flashback to the days after the Enron and WorldCom failures - President Bush assuring we the people that he's rounded up the bad guys and most CEOs are honest, hardworking good ol' American stock.

Recently on "Fast Money," Carl Icahn, one of the world's richest men, exposed his opinion that most American CEOs are simply cronies of the corporate boards they share power with and are largely milking their shareholders for tens of thousands of dollars per hour while they sit in skyboxes or play golf with their buddies.

I'm sure you can find it on the Internet. Do we need a little more regulation or a little less government?
