Uh, you can't just pay massive numbers of the population without the wealth creation in the first place. We do not have some centralized salary authority that pays people based on loyalty to some arbitrary payment distribution scheme. This is completely contrived.

It doesn't need to be centrally managed, the situation can emerge organically just based on how people are incentivized. Especially with the impact computers and scaling at low marginal costs has and how much more one person's labor can be worth compared to another person's labor.
