So you think rich people and other will be willing to put a cap on their earned income.
Looool
Go ask Elon to drop billions please. Let me know how that turns out for you


I wont be asking people nicely. I will be making them.

Assuming I have the full support and backing of the middle class. Remember, we outnumber the rich vastly.

I never said the government gets to keep the wealth. Go read my post again. I said the excess funds will be available to be earned by those who are smart and willing to work, namely the middle class.

I want to be rich and I’m lower-middle class and ya don’t speak for me. It’s a fun thought experiment but I would love to be rich. I have zero desire, will, or need to crush someone else to raise myself up. That’s the difference. I’ve been a bread ticket, it’s annoying. I’ve been too poor, also annoying. Everything I have is mine and that’s how I like it.

The money that I am "stealing" does not belong to the rich. They did not earn that money. Their employees, the middle class workers, earned it for them. I am just helping the middle class take back what is rightfully theirs.

Still think I am a Robin hood?

How is it "crushing" the rich? Do you really think they earned all that wealth?

Hint: they didn't. Their employees earned all that money for them. All that money belongs to their employees, the middle class workers.

I understand that you have the right to believe delusional gender issues but don't expect me to share those beliefs or pronouns as part of my vocabulary. That sum it up for you?


it sums up a very obvious message you werent trying to make, and doesnt portray what you wish it did

Transparency in profit earning at job levels to normalize actual earned income solves this easier.

Example: If your post pays 15/hr but your earning your company 30/hr you must be allocated say 90% of your actual earning power rather than the company profiting from the labor. This leaves 10% profit for the company which still earns the overall company money to function and grow.
