> a new system that doesn't directly link labour with income

Wish granted.

You now have a system where income is only vaguely linked to labor, and a handful of people make insanely more money than anybody else despite doing the same amount of labor (or less). Income is now linked to existing wealth and personal connections much more than it is to labor.

A system where income is directly linked to labor would be a step up from what we've got now.

Didn‘t you just describe exactly what we have now?

Calibas started with the words “You now have” and proceeded with describing what we have now. Your question suggests you tried to read between the lines before reading the lines first.
