One size does NOT fit all.  In some respects, we have baked
communisism/socialism into government institutions with the idea that
"if you make more, you can pay more" instead of charging a flat fee
(tax) for services.  Social Security went further -- it was a Ponzi
scheme that fell apart when the Baby Boomers came of retirement age on
one hand, and the raiding of the trust fund by Congress on the other.

Reminds me of unions and pension funds -- "the money was just sitting
there."

Minimum wage?  What a bad idea.  How about "minimum profit
participation" instead?
