How about taxing income disparity?

Along with higher tax rates for capital gains, how about this?

If a CEO is making 300-500 times what the average worker in the company is making, why not tax the hell out of his earnings?

We can also tax the investors, too. Not the common people, but the 10%ers - the ones who own 10% or more of the company stock.
