With the new direction of the country in regard to requiring those who have much to give more, and redistributing the wealth to those with less, it leaves me wondering "how much is too much?" (And who gets to decide?)
The inverse is also an issue... how little is too little?
If increasing the minimum wage is a good idea, what is the logical limit to that? I mean, if an increase to $10/hour would be viewed as good, why not $15/hour... or $50? If that reduces the argument to the ridiculous, then what is the reasonable maximum that should be imposed as a minimum wage?
On the other end, who is "overpaid?"
Investment Bankers? Greedy Corporate CEO's? Brain Surgeons? According to Forbes, Obama-supporter Oprah rakes in $260,000,000/year. If $250,000 per year is rich (per Obama) then let's leave Oprah $249,000 and take the $259,751,000 and redistribute it. She'll still be "rich" by Obama's definition.
Tiger Woods makes $128,000,000 per year. Surely that's an obscene amount, marking him as greedy and uncaring for the poor. Let's take it all but $250,000 and build some homes for the homeless. Even in Hawaii I could build a bunch of houses for $127,000,000 per year.
So, what is "fair" and who gets to decide?
