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.

Again, the only limit on what you can make as an individual is what profitability you can afford you

And that profitability is impacted by your law since other salaries have to go up. We are back to my $2,000,000 cost of a $1,000 raise.

Only for the top 1 or 2 people working for the very largest companies. Perhaps outliers like this will have to change. Perhaps companies this large will cease to exist. That isn't necessarily a bad thing.
