You’re saying this ironically but yes, I would. If there was an accepted living standard and every job paid according to that that would be amazing.



That seems very anti-worker.


Only if you’re in the minority that makes more than they should


Plenty of people make more than 10% more than their costs, you'd be taking away money from all of them.


Oh no you misunderstood, it’s not 10% more than your costs, it’s 10% more than what the cost for a person to live a dignified life should be. So this would really only take money away from people that earn way more than needed.


Taking money from the greedy.... I like it!


Workers are greedy for getting paid what they can?


Yes. Intel just fired a bunch of workers while the CEO just got paid $179m?

I bet he could cover all those workers' salaries and still live a comfortable life. But he (and every other CEO) doesn't.


We're not talking about CEOs, we're talking about the workers.

So you'd suggest that those workers who got laid off should have taken a pay cut instead?


CEOs are workers too mate


But we're not talking about those workers.

So you'd suggest regular workers should take a pay cut?


I’m talking about CEOs too!


So you're sticking with answering a question nobody asked?
