Is there a point were it can be determined that a person has enough money? What justification can be used to say that "X" amount of income is the most that a person can make? I definitely feel like there should be some way to curtail the income of select people, the ones making 10s of millions of dollars a year for example. I'm not sure yet on what would constitute too much money but i do feel like there is a point were greed comes into play. People don't need private planes, chauffeur drivers, they don't need the home large enough to house 15 but only a third of that amount lives there, and they don't need a private island. If extremely rich people want to live in society then they're going to have to take a pay cut or in some way reinvest that money into the community/nation. Live for ever as an average joe or live a short time as royalty?

I dont really mind rich people besides the ones who are like multi-TRILLIONAIRES. I kinda think they are just taking money out of society and causing inflation because money has to printed when there isn't enough to go around.

There are ways around a maximum wage.

For example, if he/she wanted to get around Maximum Wage, he could just give the guy money and say it was a gift they goverment can not resrict that and have no right to.

Firefox Favourite Manga Dragonball	The simple solution to this is to tax rich people more. Which I think is what's done in most countries nowadays anyway. The problem is tax havens. Places where people can deposit their money and get out of paying the tax for it. However I think that I read somewhere that things are being done about such things. To be honest, if people are earning more then they're also paying more. Not just through taxes but expenditures too. So the money they earn is still being put back into the economy. Freezing that large amount of cash in times of a financial crisis like we have now seems like a bit of a silly idea.

To the original post, the easiest way to accomplish what you propose, is to move to China. You'd create a cap on society so that no one can sit in between the cap, and business owners would still be billionaires regardless. Also, some jobs are so difficult, that putting a cap on their wage wouldn't pay for the difficulties that they encounter during their job, and thus the job would cease to exist.

Fire fox Favourite Manga Gantz	Well i made this topic because i was asked this question in school and i was curious about what you guys had to say. The few people that actually spoke up in class expressed a slightly different opinion. In a sense they want maximum wages to cut back on excessive pay but know that maximum wages just won't work. The main topic was about CEO pay (including bonuses/stock options/long term bla bla bla). Most people came to the conclusion that a few CEOs are significantly overpaid and that we need to find a way to limit their pay. This is basically how the idea of maximum wages came up in class.

Demand for job, Difficulty of job, Requirements for job, etc. To answer the OP, I doubt it would work. The obvious example though is to tax everyone the same amount, and the richer obviously end up paying in more money.
