However, the government can tax the ever-loving shit out of the sons-of-bitches. That they can do!
Rather than an absolute cap, I like the idea that Mister Agenda mentioned earlier: require that a CEO pay their entry-level employees no less than a reasonable dividend of their own salaries. Low double-digits. 20X, max. That way, if a CEO still has to have a $60 million dollar salary, the entry-level employee will have to earn $3 million a year.
Executives would probably own workers as slaves if the government didn't prevent them from doing it, so let's give execs the incentive: the more they pay their lowest employees, the more they will be able to earn.
Because, I really don't share the opinion that CEOs are drawn from a minuscule pool of superhuman talent and that entitles them to make as much as half their entire workforce, combined.
