Oughta be a maximum wage as well as a minimum wage law

[MANative]

11. Can't put a dollar amount on that, but what might work...

is that max compensation is capped at a certain multiple of average workers' wage within the corporation. For example, CEO can't be compensated more than 10 times worker average. Today's CEOs are often comped in the multiple hundreds of worker comp. Remember, too, that compensation and salary are two different things. Doubt you could do it through legislation, but it could be done in publicly held companies through board policies. Good luck getting the board to vote that in, though.

ETA: Also couldn't do it in privately held companies, and dog only knows what that would do to corporate structures, ownership, and stock.
