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.

And those are all the ways that companies will "become more profitable" as your plan would have them do - if they can't squeeze lower-income-earners, they'll screw us somewhere else - outsourcing, child labor in foreign countries, melamine, etc. You can't squeeze a corrupt system in one place and not expect the corruption to just ooze somewhere else.
