It would be the highest paid job on the market if the law limited executive pay.

Maybe this idea is sacrilege to the hyper-capitalist brain but it is entirely reasonable to limit personal salary and assets because income inequality has known and proven negative impacts on society.

No one person should make a salary greater than ~$1 million/year nor should they be able to control more than ~$100 million in assets. Prove me wrong on that concept. What possible reason could an individual have to require such excessive wealth?

As far as your second paragraph, your argument is that we can’t fix one piece of a multi-faceted problem without fixing the other pieces, which is logically weak. Paying executives less would make non-zero progress toward cost reduction.
