Sales commissions are an interesting example. A hard cap can probably have bad psychological effects. But squeezing commissions down overall (by reducing the percentages or some other approach) is unlikely to have the same bad effect.
You know, all of your solutions try very heavily to discourage people for actually doing things. Forcing equality of outcome seems to require punishment for any hard work. I would rather not live in the world of Harrison Bergeron.
"squeezing commissions down overall" is very heavily discouraging people, ask IBM.
Nope, "equality of opportunity" is a great thing. I just don't believe "equality of outcome" is achievable and further believe it is detrimental to society as a whole. We should teach our children not to envy and working hard is a component but not a guarantee of success.
