This is, obviously, a goal of America's liberals too. They're insanely bitter toward the successful. Make America more like France. You hardly ever find those bastards there!

France to cap top pay in state groups
By James Boxell in Paris
France’s new socialist government has launched a crackdown on excessive corporate pay by promising to slash the wages of chief executives at companies in which it owns a controlling stake, including EDF, the nuclear power group.
In a departure from the more boardroom-friendly approach of the previous right-of-centre administration, newly elected president François Hollande wants to cap the salary of company leaders at 20 times that of their lowest-paid worker.

Mr Proglio earned €1.6m last year – 65 times more than his lowest-paid worker.
The government also wants to pressure other companies in which it owns a stake to follow its lead, even though it has no legal power to force such a change.
France is unusual in that it still owns large stakes in many of its biggest global companies, ranging from GDF Suez, the gas utility; to Renault, the carmaker; and EADS, parent group of passenger jet maker Airbus.
