Why don’t we have a maximum wage? Asking that question is another way of asking why some people can rake in millions while others struggle to earn enough

    You in particular need not worry about ever hitting that max GBU_28

    The goal is to stop the bleeding for those being exploited by billionaires (the entire nation minus ~50)

      What max? Who defines it?

      Nice try with the personal insult. Schoolyard stuff.

        I don’t think you’re being insulted, just that the limit can be unobtainable by 99% of people and still be effective. Personally I think that’s a possible thing, but also a pointless thing, a wage cap is going to do nothing to redistribute Jeff Bezos’ wealth in a sensible manner.

          I found the phrasing targeted, but that’s probably because a rude person was calling me a numnuts at the same time.

          I wish it was phrased the way you di, it would be more civil.

          Further, I agree with you. I’m worried about it being abused and corrupted to keep laborers down

      But that’s just it - they genuinely are worried about exactly that, because they’ve been convinced by the people exploiting their labour for profit that they too can become a billionaire one day if they just work hard enough and make sure to never remove their tongue from the boot standing on their neck!

      This is a live demonstration of propaganda at work.
