Let’s take all the people in the United States, whether they are rich or poor, janitors or CEOs, stock boys or stock brokers, fishermen or congressmen, cleaning service employees or government employees, floor sweepers or teamsters, in office or office cleaners, everyone who works or should be working for a living, and have the Government Accounting Office calculate the average wage for everyone.
Next, let us guarantee that average wage to everyone in the country and take anything over that from all who are making more than the average (movie stars, politicians and statesmen included).
We don’t want to base this on taxable income only, but all income, just to be fair.
If you make over that average income and you are in favor of this then you may decry the inequities of income and wealth distribution all you like and, I am sure of course, that you donate all of your excess income to charitable causes .
If you make over that average income and are not for this and you still want to say how unfair a free market society is, you are a hypocrite and you should just be quiet.
