[we hav pay/hr range from 1000th to million times world-av hrly pay - every worker in the world [4 bn], including homemakers [2 bn] & tertiary students, wd be paid US$15/hr [2006 $s] if we had eql pay/hr] - ie, family wrking av hard wd be on US$75,000/yr
which wd u choose?
1] a world in which u were the highest paid person in the world, in which pay/frtnt ranged from $1 to $1 bn, with 1 bn on less than $1/day [200th of world av], 3 bn on lessthan $2/day, 90% on lessthan 10th of av, 99% on lessthan av, 1% on up to a mn x av, with the extreme violence, danger, unpeace, waste, trouble, disease, etc
2] a world in which overpay/underpay is justly limited by limiting fortunes to the maximum a person can earn by their own work, greatly reduced war, crime, poverty & disease, with liberty, equality, fraternity [= global friendliness], low defense costs [in lives [both the killed & the employed in defense industry], taxes, damage & destrctn of person & property]
a no-brainer?
