I would say that the second one is true. Most of us spend our lives as slaves that make either minimum wage or more (incomparable to the top 1%). We are all working for the few. The current systems are not optimal, and the rich keep getting richer (instead of achieving economic equality).
Personally I feel your point and I can agree but is not is this idea something like advanced version of income tax? Anyway I read that for example in Japan there is law that CEO of the company can't earn more than 20x or 30x of wage of low rank employee. And something like that I would like to be implemented in every country. This can be the first step to make economy more human friendly.
Well obviously for the system to be more efficient, an adaptable income tax is needed. So what would this mean? That would mean that if you earn between $10-20k a year it would be a much lower % than if you were earning $100k or more. However, I do not think that the problem is really in low and middle class. The problem are the richest people in the world.The problem: "The 85 richest people in the world have as much wealth as the 3.5 billion poorest".
