Yeah, I'd legally cap it at 60. I also think anyone, including salaried workers, should get overtime when they work over 40 hours per week. Maybe you could let workers go over for a certain number of weeks (e.g. you could work 3 70 hour weeks per year) or in certain professions.

I think that work-life balance is a serious problem in the US. I don't know if a legal cap on hours is necessarily the best way to go, but we should be looking at solutions like it. I'd also support requiring all employees to take at least 10 days of vacation each year.
