  You in particular need not worry about ever hitting that max GBU_28

  But that’s just it - they genuinely are worried about exactly that, because they’ve been convinced by the people exploiting their labour for profit that they too can become a billionaire one day if they just work hard enough and make sure to never remove their tongue from the boot standing on their neck!

  This is a live demonstration of propaganda at work.

    One day I might be mega rich and then people like me better watch their step!

  What max? Who defines it?

  Nice try with the personal insult. Schoolyard stuff.

    I don’t think you’re being insulted, just that the limit can be unobtainable by 99% of people and still be effective. Personally I think that’s a possible thing, but also a pointless thing, a wage cap is going to do nothing to redistribute Jeff Bezos’ wealth in a sensible manner.

      I found the phrasing targeted, but that’s probably because a rude person was calling me a numnuts at the same time.

      I wish it was phrased the way you di, it would be more civil.

      Further, I agree with you. I’m worried about it being abused and corrupted to keep laborers down
