Top managers of very large companies with many thousands of employees may make huge salaries, but they are very, very few in comparison to the total number of employed in an organization of that size. Lower and middle management certainly don't make that kind of cash, they often make less than even some of the guys down on the factory floor.
In the kinds of companies that pay their executives that kind of money you could restrict them to 10 or 20 times the low end workers salary, as Skybird suggests, divide it amongst the rest of the employees equally and they'd all get maybe 10 bucks a piece extra a week. Big deal.
Sky is right, everyone does not have an equal chance in life. What we do in life directly affects our childrens and their childrens chances for success as much as luck and fate do. Utopian dreams of somehow reversing or resetting the bad luck and mistakes of previous family generations to provide succeeding generations the exact same chances in life are as impossible to attain as the Communist ideal.
