Why is advancement desirable? Giving people more responsibility when they prove they can handle it is one thing. It's entirely another to equate advancement with monetary compensation.
In general, I believe people should be incentivized with responsibility, which is in everyone's interest. Cash compensation only benefits one person; doubly so when considering the rate of tax avoidance in the upper echelons of income.

I don't necessarily agree with that, but it's a separate discussion and would work purely considering this point. The United States isn't the right country for such a system, though. You might look at Japan: their corporations motivate people with social status more than money. The CEOs there don't directly make a large salary, and neither do the employees. Really, nobody makes a lot of money in Japan.
