Sat Feb 27 06:00:01 EST 2021 ======================================== Slept from one-thirty to ten. Woke briefly a couple times in the night. Cloudy with a 20 percent chance of rain early in the morning, then partly cloudy in the late morning and afternoon. Highs in the mid 40s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. My (probably not at all novel) idea to address income inequality: - Call the "Annual Minimum Wage" the hourly minimum * 40 * 52. - Maximum individual annual income is capped at a hundred * AMW, with excess taxed at 100%. If minimum wage is $15/hr, that caps maximum annual income at about $3,000,000. - Cap the maximum inheritable estate value at a thousand * AMW, with excess taxed 100%. If minimum wage is $15/hr, that caps maximum inheritable estate at about $30,000,000. - Individuals are not taxed on annual income up to twice the AMW. - Enforce the maximum caps strictly, and let legislators and lobbyists set the minimum wage at whatever they want.
