If we have a minimum wage, then we must also have a maximum wage.
If the government can tell us what we are worth we must have a maximum wage as well.
Yes. There should be a maximum wage.
No, it's got nothing to do with a government telling us what we are worth (as you're insinuating they do with a minimum wage).
You need an X-amount of calories a day to live a healthy and productive life.
Calories cost an x-amount of money a day.
A minimum wage secures the basic needs; it says nothing about how much you are worth. Neither does the bonus a banker receives, by the way.

Let me guess, it is more than what you make.
Life would be so much simpler if the governmnet just picked my job and provided my necessities. You know, kinda like a work for food program., otherwise known as slavery with vacations and sick days.

But, no.
A goverment should make sure the trains run on time, that you don't starve to death and that the agreements between workforce and boss are upheld.
