When we talk about excessive wealth disparity, we should ask simply: what is money? What is $100 billion dollars? It is the power to, at a whim, hire one million people and have them spend their lives doing whatever you ask them, for three years. That is more power than Kings.

I think a problem is that when the issues are pointed out, people can feel like the only alternative is a system of government that they believe to be worse. We can make laws that empower workers. It doesn't have to be all or nothing of the major political structures.

There is no dictating. The million people are free to say no and to refuse the money.

How about why any person, of any intelligence, work ethic or with any idea, should be able to make millions a year or thousands an hour to accumulate the type of wealth needed to control millions of people both directly and indirectly?
