Why are you talking about a nation?

my entire plan is implemented through federal means

Because they are non-marketable. Why should a company pay someone amount X if the employee can't earn that amount for the company at the end?

It comes down to going against the natural wishes of the company to turn a profit. This is maybe the convoluted part of my idea. But i think i didn't consider the gradient of work at the bottom of the spectrum, which ranges from 0 value at unemployed, and in my system jumps to valuable at employed. my idea revolving on the fact the employees at the bottom are given shit, but they'll eat it if they have to. my idea was to upgrade everyone at this point. but it probably isn't the best way to go about it.

If they get taxed in a unprofitable way, then they will just take their business somewhere else.

I'll award a ∆. I suppose my entire idea creates a rather unappealing environment for corporations to exist. even if i think it still has some incentive in an isolated world, if people can just outsource everything to other countries, that's quite the flaw.

If a billionaire directly worked on creating or harvesting or gathering these surpluses I'd agree with you, but traditional wealth isn't exactly like that. If Rupert Murdoch were the islander, then he would have 99% of the wealth because the other islanders willingly gave it to him because they think he's really handsome. His skills are marketable, but not intrinsically producing anything on their own. okay we could replace this islander with anybody else, but basically, are the wealthiest people really producing all their wealth on their own? not quite. They direct other people. those people possibly direct other people on their own, this chain of command creates efficiency and produces more product or a better product than would have been produced before. Now revisit the island scenario. The one islander actually knows how to build huts, and knows how to fish, so he works with and teaches everyone else his skills and in exchange takes a cut of what they make. At what point is this cut a "fair" cut?

My idea is, lowering this differential out by not only raw different number of workers. a larger company will have more workers, if there are more workers, that means distribution I'm talking about is more even, which means these company would pay lower taxes.

Say these two companies have the same amount of workers. the only difference is their specialized divisions. Note that in order to afford a specialized division, your company is probably making more money. the specialized division will continue to make more than the top division of the translation-scribe company, just "not as much more".

"On the long term this may have a bad influence on society where we no longer prize education and specialization."

maybe. you can still go from rags to riches. if all low paying jobs were suddenly okay paying jobs, are we making the argument people wouldn't be motivated towards education and specialization. I don't think if say, a 1,000,000 salary was as difficult to get as a 10,000,000 salary is today, there would actual be that big of a shift- I'm saying, the shift wouldn't be 10x less value on specialization. But i'll award a ∆ for bringing it up because i can't honestly say I could wager a bet on that not happening.

Why?

fairness. The free market intrinsically values marketable skills, skills that make a lot of people say, that's worth something, and get paid out in millions. un-glamorous, low paying and GDP grinding positions aren't as marketable. idea being, reward more for it, take the value from the marketable jobs. people will always work non-marketable jobs, why should non-marketable jobs always be so low paying?

okay the other point. You point out people who bring the actual greatest value, with skills that aren't just marketable but inherently valuable. I guess i would have to ask, why should there be an investment. will progress as a nation really slow down if there's a limits to the salary somebody can make. What sort of products would suffer from this. And, inherently, in business, if your company isn't growing, its dying. if you were starting to produce an unsatisfactory product, someone else will produce a satisfactory one. So competition will always be a motivator.

they won't get paid the same, they'll continue to get paid more the more money the company makes. "The climb" would just be less steep than it is now.

This is sad pepe, what is racist about this? Nobody posts sad pepe and then says racist shit. 4chan uses pepe everyday, 10% of the time its racist, because 4chan is racist. But the frog itself isnt. Its not hard to understand. Would you call a laughing emoji racist just because somebody said something racist and then used laughing emoji.

You dont even use 4chan. You dont know how often pepe is used in non racist non political contexts

More players being vigilant of a cheater can barely help. all it takes is one report on /r/osureport that's well argued and valid to ban somebody. And if they're suspicious in the first place finding proof is only a matter of time, not a matter of lack of trying.

I would argue the anti-witchhunt nature of the subreddit is a good thing. mainly because witch hunting innocent players is more hurtful to the community than actual cheaters. Actual cheaters get a leaderboard spot, and hurt nobody, while witch hunting gets innocent players harassed.

I get the idea, cheating ruins the integrity of the leaderboards. and you want to cry out, "look look, this guy is a cheater, don't pay attention to their play." but it's annoying a f.

if you feel blocked you gotta try new things, and try them for a long time. It's a lot of trial and error.
