The people who make that kind of money don't make it through wages but other compensation.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Yes, so block that at a maximum rate (too)?

I am not an accountant but from what I know, taxing stuff like compensation in the form of stocks is pretty hard to do.

I'm not disagreeing with you, the system is just rigged in favor of very wealthy people.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

You just make it illegal to compensate in this form. Problem solved.

I think that's the whole point we're trying to change in this discussion. ๐Ÿ‘

Oh for sure, it's just going to be a really long uphill battle as long as the current liberal system is in place.

I don't have any faith in any reform happening with wealth in any country. Money is too powerful to change anything at the top. ๐Ÿ˜” So in that sense, a very long battle indeed. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Which is why we need to not allow borrowing against assets to get over the maximum.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
