But America being the land of greed and selfishness, there would be a simple solution: Split the company into two legal entities. One which employs all the jamokes getting next to nothing and another which employs the C-suite folks. Even without such a dramatic split, a law like this would likely mean that they’d shift all low paid employees into contract roles.

None of which is to say that I disagree with the goal, just that one should never underestimate the greed and psychopathy of the typical C-suite individual. These are people who will have employment contracts that guarantee them a multi-million payout if they get fired because they’re shit at their job.
