I believe using guns to force everyone to make the same salary would lead to economic ruin, as it has everywhere it’s ever been tried. If you allow differences in wealth, then some will accumulate more. Over time, these differences become pronounced. Those with wealth identify new areas to expand their enterprises. They wish to hire the best employees. The employees they consider the best get paid more. And the cycle continues.

Your dream of doing nothing for money is unsustainable. I have nothing against free people choosing to work less, and free people choosing to hire part timers. Just don’t stop people from working harder and getting more than you.
