Should everyone just be paid the same amount, whatever that amount but based on the job at hand? One job can set a set price that pays every worker the same? No one less and no one more?

Are you asking or making a rhetorical point?

I was just asking if that was a possible solution people would be interested in. Not trying to persuade or anything. But I do think that or something similar could potentially put people on the same playing field financially. Instead of having a set few billionaires.

Ahhh okay. It’s one of those things that has been debated for a long time. It’s kind of a Star Trek thing if you ask me. Captain Picard gets paid the same as Ensign Slacker from the lower decks (both 0). Well, except Ensign Slacker probably has a tiny apartment in NYC (when not on a tour of duty with the Enterprise) whereas Picard has his luxurious wine estate in the French countryside.
