That's still income. If you want I can rephrase more generally.

There shouldn't be a 100x difference in income between People.



Do you have any reason beyond "inequality!"? ( https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-04-20/-fight-in... ).

I found it from one of your previous replies:

> There shouldn't be a 100x factor between the lowest and highest salary. There's no degree of merit that should guarantee that privilege.

> Merit doesn't scale linearly, if I wanted to use your language, but there's no reason income should follow the same model.

Which is interesting, because it assumes pay is based on merit, but that it shouldn't necessarily mirror merit. I believe that's a consistent world view; but, to me at least, it's not obviously The One Correct View.


> There shouldn't be a 100x difference in income between People.

That's a political argument, not a valid business argument.


Yes, of course it's political... What isn't ? A business argument is a political statement. The opposite isn't true though of course.
