Pretty sure he meant fairer. At the very top and to a lesser extent further down there are a bunch who are largely rentiers drawing far more value from the economy than they create.
The disconnect between high-end CEO compensation and average salaries, one that has grown far wider even in my adult life than before, comes to mind immediately. There are some financial services activities that are not a lot more than skimming the top off of other people's money, with those skimming being paid handsomely, too.
Nothing some unionisation, investors rather than groups on one another's compensation boards adjudicating salaries, a land value tax and some supply-side reforms and liberalisations in a few dysfunctional markets won't fix, alongside the banning of financial chicanery that achieves nothing beyond enriching a few at the expense of many.
