That's exactly how the article suggests setting the maximum.

"Wage" is rather poor wording then.

Wage is worthless wording. Most ultra rich don’t have wages - at least not relative to their change in worth. We need to change how taxes fundamentally work.

Anyone with two brain cells can understand that it's a wordplay on "minimum wage" and the implementation of this isn't really going to rely on the narrow definition of wages.

It seems unwise to rely on the uneducated masses to interpret things correctly. Perhaps clearer communication would be helpful.

That's why there's a whole text with explanations right below the headline

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

There are more words????

[-] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 0 points 8 months ago

As you can see, lots of people don't read those explanations.

Perhaps clearer communication would be beneficial.
