Minimum wage and income/wage equality are two different things, as I am seeing it today. A minimum wage is a good idea, what that should be is up for debate. Income/wage equality is very objective and subjective at the same time.
A person's worth is difficult to assess.

If states tax the rich, they'll just move to Texas.

If states tax the rich, they'll just move to Texas. Very rich people sometimes threaten they'll move from the UK too, don't know what the evidence is that they do permanently. But if they all end up in Texas, well, Texas hold'em

Free Cash to Fight Income Inequality? California City Is First in U.S. to Try Long plagued by poverty and desperation, Stockton, Calif., is testing universal basic income as a means of improving the lives of its residents. www.nytimes.com/2018/05/30/business/stockton-basic-income.html"STOCKTON, Calif. — This town in California’s Central Valley has long functioned as a display case for wrenching troubles afflicting American life: The housing bust that turned Stockton into an epicenter of a national foreclosure disaster and plunged the city into bankruptcy. The homeless people clustered in tents along the railroad tracks. Boarded-up storefronts on cracked sidewalks. Gang violence. Now, Stockton hopes to make itself an exhibition ground for elevated fortunes through a simple yet unorthodox experiment. It is readying plans to deliver $500 a month in donated cash to perhaps 100 local families, no strings attached. The trial could start as soon as the fall and continue for about two years. As the first American city to test so-called universal basic income, Stockton will watch what happens next. So will governments and social scientists around the world as they explore how to share the bounty of capitalism more broadly at a time of rising economic inequality."

Drunks will be out fighting in the street, there will be more domestic violence, and the people selling marijuana will make lots of money.
