Thinking mode you could adjust the corporate tax rate, tax on officers salaries, dividends, and capital gains to account for the lower tax rate on lower paid employees.
Would also help for the government to tax stock buybacks as profit and dividends.

Why? The gain from stock buy back is already captured in capital gains taxes. Simply increase the capital gains tax rate of the goal is to increase taxes collection.
It isn't so much that we want to discourage investment in food supply and other service sectors but rather to increase the living conditions of those working in them.
It will mean increased labor costs, decreased stock market profits, and a bit of inflation. I argue that for humane labor practices, this is an acceptable compromise for a civilized society.
