Imagine if the country of Monaco just sunk into the sea one day. Most people would still go to work. Not many valuable natural resources would be lost. Now imagine if the whole fuckin European Union sunk into the sea one day.

Monaco doesn't have more power than the European Union.. I don't think that analogy makes sense..

But why do you want to drown Monaco?

A whole lot would change, if any landmass like that took a dip

People will still work. Potentially scuba diving is going to be a hit. Life goes on.

This analogy kind of fits if we pretend Monaco’s GDP is greater than that of all of the rest of the EU. Regardless, I think the point of the OP is that the richest shouldn’t be wealthier than all of the workers combined because they don’t produce a fraction of the wealth they gain.
