Ask HN: Would you start a startup if the upside was limited?

I heard that Switzerland is voting to implement a system where CEO's could only make 12x that of the company's lowest paid employee. They would also be implementing a system where every citizen is guaranteed roughly $22k/year, regardless of employment (I might not have all the facts correct).

Regardless, my question is if you were capped at $500k/year knowing that you would have this $22k/year safety net, would you still start a startup?

EDIT: I'm trying to ask whether a moderate upside - that is roughly equivalent to making $500k/year - would be enough to motivate most people to start startups. The Switzerland thing was just what got me thinking. DH5 people!
