I believe that the world would be a better place if nobody was allowed to be payed over US$100,000 a year, CMV.

Basically I think that salaries in excess of US $100,000 a year are not a fair reflection on the work that people put in to high paying jobs and lead to inequality and prejudice in our society. In my opinion, a better alternative would be to force anyone who earns over $100,000 a year net to pay, either as charitable donations or additional tax, to reduce their income to $100,000 a year.

Note: I don't live in the USA but used USD as a standard that everyone can easily compare to.

You are not American, but there is an interesting side note to the US healthcare system.  We had a president who thought almost exactly what you do.  He tried to get congress to place a "salary cap" on workers.  It didn't make it into law, but he did manage to get a 94% income tax on money made above this proposed salary cap.

What happened?  Companies wanted to keep good workers.  They found ways to make it worth their while.  They paid them below this level, but they offered to pay doctor bills.  They offered very generous pension plans.  They offered education benefits, vacation days, travel money... It was this desire for equality that led to healthcare in the US being connected to having a job!

The bottom line is, companies will find a way to retain and recruit top talent.  Whatever laws are created, there will be ways worked around them.  The workarounds may have worse repercussions than what the laws were trying to prevent!
