Than the company would outsource, automate, higher contractors, etc. for the lower wage work. So in practice you might not get what you want.

More fundamentally I think its none of your business (unless your a shareholder), and non of the government's business what a company pays its executives.

It is the business of the corporate owners (shareholders for public corporations), and maybe there is sometimes a problem with the companies not responding to the shareholders interests in terms of paying the execs too much, but if that is true, it doesn't necessarily require government intervention, and if the government has any role it would be in terms of facilitating share holder control, not setting wage limits (either specific wage limits or multiples of the average, median, or lowest paid employees).
