Cap on income?!?!? You're talking like a socialist!

I actually think there's a lot of merit in that argument. There are many examples of, say, cancer research charities who seem to do nothing except "raise awareness", which is to say they put on fancy dinners. All the liberals in the Ivy League business schools have running a non-profit/charity as their goal, but I don't think any of them has working for a middle class income as a goal.

No, I'm talking about an enforced ratio for specific entities. If a corporation wants to be, essentially tax free, then there are a lot of other strictures they have to obey that aren't in force in a for-profit entity. I'm talking about one more, not a new class of restrictions that are across-the-board.

I am not a slippery slope guy (except for the first, second, and fourth amendments) but I'd understand an argument against it based on that.
