Not all the people will suffer. The CEO's will rake in even
more money.

Then raise their taxes such that the more they make, the less
they get to keep.
Same for major stockholders, either corporate or individual!
If you punish success, who will take the risks?
You seem to be saying that the people who get the rewards, i.e.
executives, stockholders,..., are responsible for the success of the
enterprise. What about the efforts of thousands of employees whose only
rewards are to be paid as little as possible and are then discarded like
yesterdays garbage whenever necessary.
The enterprise wouldn't be a going concern without them. The people who
run the computers, shuffle papers, work with customers are the real
heroes. The average executive is vastly overpaid with a ego that
wouldn't fit in the Superdome.

I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free,
no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them;
if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I
alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
