there's always the fuss about min wage being too high but how about those further up the chain.

many are paid way too much and they contribute to stagflation way more.

shouldn't these people get a pay cut?

doctors, dentists, lawyers etc..

how about they help too?

60K/year would be about right.

He figured nobody should make more than 10 times as much as he does.

These professions are about 4 or 5 times more useful to society than those performed at min wage.

Says commonsense logic.

Society can train up enough people to do these jobs so that their salaries do not become as excessive as they are now.

This is very easy to do , and do you realise that in the Soviet Union, the train drivers were often paid more than the doctors. This is supposedly also true in Cuba today (taxi drivers)

Seems fair enough to me.

And lawyers?

Most of these guys are just corrupt moochers milking the system.

It's a fine ticket - AKA: Democracy.

So I'll ask you: 'what is so democratic about one person earning 10k/year and another 500K?

That is not democracy - it is autocracy by proxy
