I would set a hard ceiling to the possible accumulation of wealth per-individual to a relative number depending on the average wealth of the individuals in the nation. This way no one would be able to get disproportionately wealthy compared to others. All funds earned above this limit would be automatically donated to the government and then used only for public services. I would set a similar limit for corporations and corporate conglomerates.
After reading this part, all I could say would be "Good luck finding people who would do all the needed jobs"...Why would I work hard and put in 100% at my job, if I knew that I might have to give away my earnings to someone who sits on their ass all day doing very little work? Why would I go through 4 years or more of college to wind up having my income supliment the guy who right out of highschool said "screw it" and works digging ditches, and can STILL make the same amount of money as me....I honestly don't think this could work....lol.
