alt Hacker News> I don't think it's overly complicated. We could create a corporate tax which inversely factors human salaries in relation to created value/profits.
That would be extremely complicated. And would of course be corrupted to the core by all kinds of different parties seeking to benefit from it.
We tried nothing and we're all out of ideas. Clearly, the current system is bad, but it's the best system possible! Let's take the corruption we know, over the unknown possibilities. Who knows, through hard work, one day you could be a billionaire too. Do you really want to sabotage your future like that? Sound a lot like communism, and you are not supposed the make a living off minimum wage anyway.
