SubArcticTundra@lemmy.mlto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor2·8 days agoI feel like perhaps a slightly easier first step would be to push for a cap that is higher than anybody’s wealth (say £100B) — so that the debate is initially only about the principle — and only then demand it be lowered. 1) salami slicing works, and 2) even just the fact of there being one (albeit unreachable) would imo do a lot psychologically.
And while we’re at it, another pet policy of mine is a tax that starts at 0 and approaches 100% as your income approaches infinity. Then you’d just play with the steepness of the curve. You’d still have the problem of pre-existing hoardrd wealth though.
Also the astronomical additions to the govt budget from all this would prob lead to equally astronomical embezzlement, rendering the whole limit ineffective. So another, prob more decentralized, mechanism of redistribution would need to be devised first.

Not a bad idea. Except generalize it to max ratio between highest pay and lowest pay within a company.

Edit: y’all’re right, version control is for wimps. What’s life without some adrenaline?
I can imagine it sabbotaging some very basic thing that our society currently takes for granted (like growing crops) and then even just baseline functioning at our current level would become much harder, causing a global recession.
