So who would be picking up the bill for helping people out?

Oh absolutely. We can start by having a maximum wage, as well as a minimum wage. Minimum wage would be pinned to how much politicians make. Minimum wage can never be less than 50% of what a Federal Senator makes. If politicians vote to raise their wages, minimum wage goes up as well! I would be happy for this number to be lower, but I would propose, for a start, a 100% tax on income above a million dollars a year. Money in an offshore tax haven will be seized and get you jail time, and countries providing tax havens will be embargoed.

+++ I'm sure plenty of people would vote for that, but where would you get a politician who would do it? (Except for the 'jail time' - I don't believe in prison either)

I don't believe in jail time as it is managed in the US and various other countries. I do believe in the sort they have in
Norway!

High wages do not bother me nearly as much as
capital gains
or
landed gentry
.

@Muse this is certainly better than US or UK, but again, who pays for it?
Also, I believe in restorative justice. Rather than sitting in prison, the criminal should be working to make amends to their victim.
There's really no good argument for locking people up unless they are an immediate threat to the safety of others. I don't like the idea that it's ever OK to take away somebody's liberty.

Agreed. Though when people are taking home £6m+ a year, it does seem to have got out of control.
