> no two people are paid differently on the basis of certain characteristics we might deem irrelevant

Who is the “we” deeming those characteristics as relevant? This entails legislators creating a central list of job characteristics, doesn’t it?

I'm not (yet) talking about the law; a prerequisite to law (among other things) is rational deliberation among the members of society. The "we" is every party interested in constructing social norms.

Can you give me an example of how it would be implemented?
