Implementation No major economy has a direct earnings limit, though some economies do incorporate the policy of highly progressive tax structures in the form of scaled taxation. A vote to implement a maximum wage law in Switzerland failed with only a 34.7% vote for approval. Maximum liquid wealth A ''maximum liquid wealth'' policy restricts the amount of liquid wealth an individual is permitted to maintain, while giving them unrestricted access to non-liquid assets.
