    Nationalization of basic needs.

    Want to own a single family house? No problem, if you don’t have the money there’s still apartments available and the cost is X% of your income, not a set price.

    Same for food, you might not eat fun things like fried calamari on the government’s program but you’ll get packages of food every week for Y% of your income, if you want to be fancy there’s private groceries for that.

    Need clothing? Here’s a bunch of plain clothes provided by the government, the price is based on your wage so buy as needed.

    In the end you can cover all your basic needs no matter your income and you’re left with the same % of your wage no matter how much you make a year. You’re on welfare? You end up with Z% of it still in your pockets after we made sure you’ve got everything you need to live. You’re a surgeon that loves the idea and wants to encourage it and doesn’t care about fancy food or clothing? You’re left with Z% of your salary in your pockets as well.
