19. Extemes always make for a more comfortable middle
A way left idea?

How about closing the wage gaps? Make it where the top earners only make twice what the lowest earn.

One way left idea that has worked (somewhat) is the idea that women should be paid the same as men. Also that women should have equal rights! (used to be way, way left)

To balance things out, using my first example, and using the current wage scenario, point out how some get paid 500 times more than the lowest earner.

Taking things to the extremes has always led to balance. You are on the leftTM track.
