Don't cap executive pay at a dollar amount - but tie it to the median wage their workers are paid. For example - pass a law that says no executive can make more than 20 times the median and 50 times the lowest paid worker in the company. That way - execs can give themselves raises whenever they want - but if an only if they give EQUITABLE raises to their workers. If the boss gets, a raise, everyone gets one - and if the boss gets a raise of $1000 a week, the median worker would get $50 a week and the lowest paid would get $20. It's still disparate, but right now execs are earning HUNDREDS OF TIMES what workers are making, and it's increasing, and there's no end in sight - and that doesn't even count stock options.
