"Here starts the problem: You assume, that they'll all be happy about a wage reduce and are not interested to make more money."

I didn't completely follow you there. that's the opposite of my point. Can you explain in a different way?


You said"
"So how can you prevent that? Taxes. The more you earn, the more you pay."

I agree, but I think if you want to do that and protect your liberties, you make a flat tax. If I make 10 times more then you, I pay 10 times more in taxes. Most tax dollars when spent on salaries, go to lower income workers. If that income is being collected more from the rich with a flat tax, your doing what you want to do, just at a lower rate then you might like. What you gain for the lower rate, is equality, which I think is worth the loss.

A better way to state it however, is I don't think government has the right to increase it, even if they thought it was better. That's what our constitution was there to protect. It's not now being followed (it hasn't for some time).

You said:
"And naturally they don't want to loose it and wouldn't 7 $ not even be better? So they start to build hurdles: Education, social circles etc. You doubt that?"

I do not doubt that the natural order of man is to take everything he can get away with. That's why our liberties are so important. laws in this country should protect all people from those that wish to harm them. That can be done though regulation of companies to keep the rich from taking advantage of the poor. In the beginning, we took great advantage of minorities, and women. Today, from a legal standpoint, it's over. You can not legally deny a black, or woman a job, a vote, a place to live, or access to education. These are laws he had to put into place to better protect people from greed.

The problem is, no one is protecting the rich from the poor today. Today, every program that is passed to support the poor that is completely expected to be paid for by the rich is an example of the problem that you point out. Greed has made the rich an easy target. Government is suposed to protect people from that type of behavior, not perpectuate it.
