What would be the outcome of this? Are you trying to reduce the gap between the poor and the wealthy?

Yes? Sort of?

Depends what you mean by "gap".

I certainly think the power dynamic we currently have in the US is bad. The wealthy are insulated from most, if not all, of the troubles facing the rest of society. Yet they still extract benefit from, and have considerable control and influence over, society at large.

That's not healthy for anyone but the wealthy. Maybe not even them, long term, but that's more of a philosophical question.

Not sure if that answers your question or not.
