    The idea is obviously not fully baked here. This is why seemingly simple ideas run a hundred pages when the law is actually passed.

      Haha, yes indeed. I think focusing on the comparison between workers leads to infighting. Most CEOs of small companies are on good salaries but they are not billionaires. Tax exeryine accordingly, including companies and CEOs and ensure wages offer a good standard of living. Raising minimum wage based on cost of living and improved living standards is easier to sell and achieve and has a knock on effect of raising everyone.

      Less kids in poverty leads to more social mobility.
