I actually lived under the end state of this process: the Soviet Union. There _everyone_ worked for the government and made similar money (peanuts). Janitor? Here's 70 rubles a month. Engineer? Here's your 120 rubles. Run a factory? Here's 200. No "inequality" woo-hoo! Socialist utopia! Didn't work too well though.
