But that's admittedly a simplification and largely symbolic. Income inequality brings with it a whole host of other ills and complications throughout society, some straightforward, some not so apparent at first. And if you're at all a student of history, that itself is "captain obvious".

They certainly "could"... they could convert themselves to a non-profit charity too... but they don't do either, because they are a business and so the main objective is to make money...
and really, if you look at the numbers, $100M would translates to about $20/month raise for all their 400k employees... so even if the company found some sucker to work as a CEO for free... it would translate to only $20/month or about 12 cents per hour raise... a really trivial amount in grand scheme of things...
