No you shouldn't, unluess you would like to end up in some socialist (capitals "S") dictatorship, where everyone's wages are meant to be the same. But even in the USSR, there was wage differentiation. Who determines what you should earn, other than a market, and why is it bettter? If every person who is better off supports someone who ius worse off, then I don't see how you won't end up with equal wages all around. Hard work is so subjective. Should tougher people, smarter people or lucky people subsidise the unlucky, whiners, dumb people or less well off? What's the point if they do not live in poverty, other than to smooth out differences either in natural ability or propensity to work? Not only are you creating a quasi class system, but you are punishing hard work and rewarding inefficiency and victim status, opening the door for moral hazard.. To get some silly notion of fairness, you are teaching people to work not as hard as they would like to.
