Would you be willing to work for a cost-plus salary?

Figure out what a middle-class lifestyle costs and pay you 10% more?

You’re saying this ironically but yes, I would. If there was an accepted living standard and every job paid according to that that would be amazing.
That seems very anti-worker.
Only if you’re in the minority that makes more than they should
Plenty of people make more than 10% more than their costs, you'd be taking away money from all of them.
Oh no you misunderstood, it’s not 10% more than your costs, it’s 10% more than what the cost for a person to live a dignified life should be. So this would really only take money away from people that earn way more than needed.
Taking money from the greedy.... I like it!
Workers are greedy for getting paid what they can?
