John McCain on Tuesday promised a clampdown on corporate malpractice if elected president and vowed to give shareholders a veto over executive pay.

The Republican presidential candidate said government had become beholden to big business and too forgiving of corporate abuses.

“For too long, government has been the voice of big business,” he told a small-business conference in Washington. “Even when very large businesses violate their trust, they seem to be held to a different standard – getting away with conduct that would leave any small-business owner broke.”
