1. everyone will readily agree that, if a govt took 90% of income/wealth permanently off 90% of ppl, & gave it to 1%, violence would dramatically increase [of the order of something like 100x] & social happiness [peace safety law order etc] decrease dramatically [of the order of smthg like 100x]
2. everyone will readily agree that, if a govt, which was doing 1, stopped doing 1, violence wd decrease dramatically [of the order of smthg like 100x] & social happiness wd increase dramatically [of the order of smthg like 100x]
3. we have far more extreme pay/hr range than this [highest pay/hr is a billion times lowest pay/hr, a million times world-avg pay/hr, 225 ppl get as much as 2,500,000,000 ppl]
4. therefore: everyone will agree that violence wd decrease & social happiness increase very dramatically [of the order of far more than smthg like 100x] if the superextreme pay/hr range was dramatically reduced
