How about a Maximum Wage instead of Minimum. And that is tied to some overall average like GDP or something, I dunno. And all the excess goes into infrastructure and benefits that directly help people. Free healthcare, free mass transit, food, UBI, etc.
And we create a new system that ranks people and businesses on their overall benefit to society. Then the billionaire mindset people can compete to be the best, but it actually helps us all instead of hurts us all. Like, a Karma or Upvote esque system or something. I dunno. Anything besides hoarding wealth.
