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

      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.

          I think that’s the whole point we’re trying to change in this discussion. 👍

            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. 😔 So in that sense, a very long battle indeed. 😞

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

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