With wealth inequality and billionaire control over American society growing ever more obscene, it’s well past time to implement a maximum wage limit.

    That won’t solve the borrow, die, repeat. It’s a great idea and should definitely have been implemented yesterday to modify the incentives of middle management but we REALLY need to start taxing people on a “personal GDP” after a certain level.

    Space Kare pays proportionally 1\10 of the taxes I pay without having a “wage”.

      Yes. If congress really had their shit together, they could implement something at the IRS where each really wealthy person is audited and taxed on their personal GDP. Auditors could present their findings of wealth and a committee could tax the value at an appropriate level.
