We'd need to decouple work and wages. Someone told me there is no such thing as working illegally in the US. There is only illegally getting paid. I am sure we can find work for everyone but how much is the compensation?

Perhaps we ought to guarantee a certain amount of money to everyone whether they be Warren Buffet or Joe Schmucks. Then, we'd get rid of the minimum wage.

I had a similar conversation with a coworker this morning. What job would have the most people applying for if no job paid any money? In other words, if salary and job were decoupled, what result would we see?
