I'd be more inclined to agree, on a few limitations... reduce patent protections to 5 years for any technology implemented completely in software, or protections against software implementations for the first 5 years.
Not pay anyone (including) officers within a company (including bonuses and stock options) in excess of 100 times what the prevailing minimum wage is at the company's headquarters.
These limitations would still allow for a wide income inequality, but necessarily limit the level of inequality per year. Those at the top can buy stocks against taxable income. And would propose other limitations to encourage redistribution and limit shifting funds to tax shelters.
