How many billions would Bruce have if Wayne Enterprises paid it's employees their fare share if it's profits?

Batman is the real villain. How much crime would there be in Gotham if his billions were spread throughout the local economy, by means of a fair and substantial wage? Or if he was taxed appropriately and some of those billions ended up in social programs, or in therapists and reentry programs at Arkham? Probably not much.
