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.

Its a nice idea but then the problem THERE becomes people shuffling to do things like.

You're just paying a SERVICES company. Who then decides what to pay people they send in. Its out of your hands.

This wouldn't benefit transparency at all, as you'd have people chomping the bit, who are far more devious and learned than I, to take advantage of the system.

No, you'd be paying the employee. I'm a contractor. My salary is set through my agency with the company I'm working for. If I go work for another company, the rate could be different even though I use the same agency. A similar would prevent abuse.
