> I've heard arguments in the past of paying "acceptable" US wages to people in other countries would destabilize the other country more than it would help.

Interesting. If true, that sounds like a good argument for capping salaries. Would the US be a little less chaotic if we set a maximum wage?

Boy, that's a brave thing to suggest on a forum of people with aspirations of getting cushy jobs at FAANGs to get those uncapped wages. It appears it's going over as well as a lead balloon too.

cap income at say 300 m annually then gradually lower it. Get all those mentally ill people out of decision making. Make exceptions for truly mad skills.

Around 50 m have some construction where further work is paid with a salary for life or until the company goes bankrupt.

I had a good laugh with your comment. The hypocrisy is deliciously laid bare in this tiny corner of HN!

That's why income taxes are progressive.
