decide?
everyone already agrees that taking 90% off 90% of people and giving it to 1% is wrong, unjust, extremely dangerous, madness, infinitely stupid - so humanity has some notion of justice that differs enormously from the current practice or state of things [90% get paid 10th - 1000th of world av hrly pay, another 9% get paid 1th - 10th of world av hrly pay]
can the general human notion of justice in pay be determined with sufficient accuracy, and practised, which must minimise anger at overpay/underpay, and thus minimise violence [war and crime]
the market is extremely unjust - everyone acknowledges this in admitting the rich get richer and the poor get poorer - i dont think anyone can argue that pay from $1 to $1 billion a fortnight's work - from a 1000th to a million times average - is anything but extremely far from the general human idea of justice in pay
therefore change is needed and the only correct change is a change closer to what the people think of as just

I see you enjoy spamming the site with the same question.
I'll leave you with a quote that describes you perfectly.
“Few men desire liberty. The majority are satisfied with a just master.”

The world is so complex, so that:
1. If letting the people decide, sometimes right; sometimes wrong. Because sometimes, the truth is in the minds of a small number of people, or even in the mind of a genius.
2. If letting the market decide, sometimes right; sometimes wrong. Because any market is operated by people, and human beings always makes mistakes, only God is exceptional.
3. If letting politicians decide, sometimes right; sometimes wrong. Because the similar reason as above, and without the governing of politicians, the society will get into chaoses.
Thus, human beings has to take an balance between the above three factors, as well as among many other factors.

The people are the market, and they speak every day . . .
