Income distributions are bounded on one end but not the other. You can't earn less than $0, but there is no absolute non-arbitrary limit on the high end of the distribution. As economic freedom increases the distribution can only grow in one direction. And let's not pretend that there is any meaningful difference between economic freedom and any other form of freedom. (What use are any other freedoms if individuals cannot direct them towards productive activity and potential commensurate rewards?)
Moreover, as technology improves the minimum "survivable" income inevitably decreases (inflation aside). Those same technology improvements are allowing more diverse working arrangments facilitating more granular trade-offs between leisure and labor. The combined result is that more people will choose to earn less than their potential income and the gap between income maximizers and leisure optimizers will compound (and be conflated with) true/unchosen inequality.
