$100k would be a cap. Most people would earn less than that. The higher paying jobs would be closer to the hundred k.

It isn't a guaranteed wage. Nobody is going to pay someone $100k to do a days work in a society were everyone makes less than 100k.

Someone can certainly decide they want to move to another country to work. There's not many that would offer such a competitive education and benefits package that could be offered in a communist america. They'd be crazy to give it all up so they can join the rat race somewhere else where they'd be saddled with debt and outrageous costs of living. There's only so many places they can all move to. We would have to keep educating our people and giving them the skills they need. People cross our border every day looking for jobs and opportunity and in my opinion, we should once again be known for jobs and opportunity and I'm not talking about just picking fruit and shingling roofs although those are professions that would be required to pay everyone a living wage.
