    Yet again Capitalism is the issue

    Is there any problem that wouldn’t be fixed with wealth redistribution?

      The inequitable amount of influence the 1% gets from owning the means of production. Given time this will erode whatever wealth distribution scheme you have in place.

      See the minimum wage for an example.

        Nah if the total wealth of everyone is forced to be equal then their power is equal.

        Assets are wealth.

        The CEO or board wouldn’t own anything more of the workplace than their janitors do.
