That solution would only work if the lowest decile would magically earn double of that what they earn right now.

How would that be done? Lowering their taxes is not going to help much. Increasing the minimum wage would help a little, but no one would double it, or is that feasible?

Or a tax financed basic income for everyone that is as high as the average wage of living?
