I really like this idea, actually. I'm a bit iffy on minimum wage's reliability as a method of minimising the effects of poverty, and this is a new one for me.

Only issue I see with it is it potentially putting a cap on the size of a company - expanding into new markets often means more employees, and while the amount of work a CEO has increases, their 'value' remains the same. Not sure if this is a bad thing though (those dirty rich bastards!).
