How would the jews jew the system?

How the hell prohibiting people from having a ferrari will help other guys to have better cars?


It will only work if the person is ultra stupid, he will see the guy without ferrari and think "i have a happy life because my car is almost as good as the rich man one."

Start a business and find out you deadbeat fuck

Why should there be a limit to ambition?

Because an upper ceiling would discourage people from seeking higher salaries.

Some executives overpay theirselves. In a fair market, all that matters is that the company provides a valuable service that people are willing to pay for. If you don't like that some CEO is earning so much, start a company to compete with him and pay yourself a small fraction of his salary. Otherwise, you have to deal with it.

(PS: I'm not sure that minimum wages are even a good idea)

No motivation. Sociopaths need an outlet senpai.

if one limits the maximum wage one also limits the amount of people that one can hire, therefore creating a more competitive market thus lowering the minimum wage.

but jesus was p socialist

greed is a sin

The sky is the limit

We once had. It did not work so good. The person holding a lot of power and having no profits from it will generally start exploiting that power to have profits, hence corruption. On every level, from the highest government officials to the director of the smallest town shop, there will be corruption and thievery. That's the destructive power of socialism.

There is a maximum wage? Its just set by reality and not the government.

The people that earn the big money dont earn a wage, they are either self employed or salaried?

Sharing out of the kindness of your heart and the government making you are 2 very different things

Question is why do we have a minimum wage.
$10 in Arizona
What highschool punk deserves 10 fucking dollars an hour

There already is a "soft cap" on executive compensation. Publicly held companies can't deduct over $1 million in compensation to executives; that's why they're paid in bonuses and stock incentives, which are eligible for deduction. The people with inordinately high income aren't receiving it from wages or a salary; it's coming from investments and other forms of compensation.

I read somewhere years ago that $80k a year is the point where more money won't make you any happier or allow you to live any more comfy. My guess is that would be $120k in le current year.

After one is just doing it for the thrill of success.

How does a maximum wage help in any way shape or form?

good leaf

There would be less of a wage gap.

Congratulations!
You now realize that communism is based on pure unfiltered jealousy

>120k a year

i could spend that in one month and still feel like i don't have enough cash

>implying I believe in jesus

*le epic tip*

fair distribution of goods

...

jesus was a cuck

winner takes all is fair

Because we shouldn't limit how much one can accomplish.

Sorry, I don't speak retard.

because we don't try limiting other peoples' succcess

Because capitalism, that's why.

in the current environment when the difference between rich and poor is increasingly measured in luxuries why would a gap matter?

What is fair about it?
Or even good about it?

if an amazing brain surgeon hits the limit after a month and goes home for the year a lot of people lose. He loses, the hospital loses, the people who needed brain surgery lose.

Your favorite actor would work less
Your favorite singer would tour less

Both of which would create less opportunity for the people who make a living of of thier popularity.

How about a really good underwater welder. He's not going into the deep after he hits the limit.

There's a fantastic car mechanic near me, he runs a tight ship and probably runs 50-100 cars a day through there.

Limit what he can earn and he would shut down on Wednesday each week and I'd have to go to a much worse mechanic and pay the same amount.


On the plus side I guess we could ditch the lottery, and gambeling, since that would be even more pointless.

ok
