*its existence -- sorry, was paraphrasing and probably not clear. Discourages innovation to an extent. In the same way basic income disincentivizes "basic" work, a salary cap across all fields would probably skew the labor force irretrievably. At least there is that potential, and no one wants to find out exactly what would happen.the idea of humans having unequal amounts access to resources, can't inherently be bad. It's an idea.
In my world view, I dont think it makes sense for an individual to really be gathering a salary greater than $100k [which I think is already more than generous.] I'd like to create a way to just pay every person an income of $100k and all surplus profits from businesses within the society goes back into maintaining the society. I don't think its crazy simply because the people who are currently influencing the rules are blatantly doing things to benefit each other which only proves that we create whatever system we want, people just need to believe and accept it.
