While some argue that a maximum wage would promote income equality and discourage excessive wealth accumulation, others argue that it would be difficult to implement and could disincetivize innovation and entrepreneurship.

We need to think carefully about the issue before deciding what we think on the matter.” # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - “The idea of a maximum wage is a controversial one, as it raises questions about individual rights and government control.
