Please don't make the illogical conclusions that government would fail in public education when, for example, Japan has some of the best schooling in the world and all the best schools there are public.

i believe almost all of the best at the pisa studies have public education.

As SamuelRSmith has already pointed out, here in Canada infastructure, education and health-care are government dominated ...

Compare and contrast the cost, quality and availability of dental care, vision care, cosmetic surgery and chiropractic to the public health-care system in Canada and you will see a clear distinction between capitalism and socialism. The privately funded and privately delivered health-care services are among the highest quality available in the world and are (relatively) affordable to the vast majority of people within the country, while the publicly funded and delivered health-care is relatively low quality and there is little to no availability.

I'm really surprised about how many VGchartz users aren't jealous of CEO Success and Money! I logged on for the first time in a bit to chastize people but I don't think its needed XD

Whether it's smart or not to pay CEOs allot isn't my concern. I personally think any organization (not funded by tax dollars) should be allowed to waste as much money as it pleases.

Plus: I like Ambition being rewarded too :D

Our education system in Alberta is among the best in the world ( http://education.alberta.ca/admin/testing/nationaltesting.aspx ) and has a mix of public, catholic, charter and private schools.

Whether or not you think $12 million is too much for a CEO (it is for the head of a failing company, but not for something like Google or Apple), it is atrocious to suggest that the government can tell a private enterprise how it is allowed to reward its own senior executives. If the government owns a controlling share (as it does of the Royal Bank of Scotland), fine, but that kind of meddling in the affairs of an independent company cannot end well.

the problem is ceos getting millions in bonuses while the company is doing either the same or worst then when they were in charge, other then that if a ceo actually improve a company competitiveness and productivity pay them what you want

No one is paid what they deserve to get.  What they are paid is what they are able to negotiate in a given market climate, based upon laws of supply and demand and their ability to B.S people into paying them what they can negotiate.  In cases where there is a good amount of supply, a business can get away with paying as little as possible.

Hey how about slashing their taxes, and making those who don't qualify for paying income tax (they pay other taxes) to start paying?  Slash rates on the top, and raise them on the bottom:
