1. Mind blowing, but leaves you open to being screwed...
They'll just say there's a maximum wage for the 99% and a max for the 1% which, of course, they'll never reach.

Either way, K & R for something that makes you think.

2. That's a little bit of a mind blower
It kind of give the brain a bit of a synastic shock as a whole new neuron path is micro blasted open.

3. Because Eisenhower's tax rates were communist inspired.

They served roughly in the same way as a maximum wage, at least for reality-based companies.

5. Back in the 70s there was someone down in LA who suggested that
there be both a floor under the yearly amount that a family of four had to live on and a ceiling on how wealthy one could be. I think the floor was quite low but enough to live on. The ceiling not very high considering the number of billionaires today. The idea was not well received to say the least. Those were still in the days when many people still had good jobs and high dreams.
