I think we all understand your goals jp and CAR, and they are not wrong. I think most everyone wants the middle class to be making more money, and top executive compensation to go down.
Where we disagree is how to go about having this happen. Your solutions, at least in my eyes, will corrupt society making it more dependent, not less dependent on government, entrenching an unproductive class of “workers.” We all want the middle class to have more money. But I want them to earn more because they are more productive, not because they wrangled more money out of the rich people and stuffed it into their pockets. We should think up constructs where people are encouraged to be productive.
If people learn they can make more through coercion then increasing their production, we will have a society of thieves.
