I would like a law

It is a simple law.

No employee of any company at any level can make more than 100 times the lowest paid employee of that company.

You're paying someone $20,000 a year, then you can make 2 million a year. Want a raise? You have to raise the salaries of the lowest paid employees.

Now, tell me why you don't like my law.

which is the only way their upper ranks (the people who are actually makign the money in the first place), will stay there.

1) Why is that the only way they'd stay there? Where else will they go?

2) I think you're mistaken over who is actually making the money. We're talking caps of MILLIONS of dollars a year. Less than .1% of employees make this much. The people actually making the money will likely get raises as well as the top 1 or 2 people at a company are forced to share more equitably.
