I stand 100% behind this proposal as I already told you at steemfest Jerry.
We are all stakeholders, co-owners and co-creators of the platform, but we need to start acting like it too.
I doubt an increase in inflation would be very attractive. But there are certainly funds to spare. As you said, a majority already goes to those that have the most, and these are also the same people who will benefit the most from work being done to improve the platform and thus increase the value of the token.
