You have to raise the status of science in your society. No PAY, no gain.

There is truth in that.
While I am opposed to punishing the winners, if it were up to me I would be okay with capping CEO pay at 1,000 times that of their entry level employees. The rest should go back into R&D and lifting up the company.
Granted, that would mean the big dogs and their families would have to get by on $500-600K a week, which is not easy if they are accustomed to an executive lifestyle.
However, in hard times everybody has to pull together. If we don't the Chinese will keep crushing us.
