I don’t know why it’s such a difficult thing to grasp or agree with … just place a wealth cap on society everywhere
Let everyone be as greedy as they want to be, let them be ruthless a-holes as much as they want … just give them an upper ceiling of say $10 million … anything more that is taxed 100% and sent back to government and the public for public services like health care, education, infrastructure, etc
Why do we accept that one person gets to own $1 billion or more? Can one person realistically expect to live on and enjoy that wealth? And at that level, what is the purpose of growing it even further? What is the point of massive wealth? It only locks up wealth to a small group of people while withholding it from others.
Ultra wealth is a thing of the past when kings and dukes wanted to rule over the country side … if we want to progress far into the future, we’ve got to stop acting and living like apes fighting over the biggest pile of bananas.
What’s so difficult in arguing that wealth should be shared among as many as possible. And don’t give me that argument of being communist or socialist … I’m talking about a society that is fundamentally no different than the one we already have in the US, Canada or Europe … except for the part that you regulate wealth to an upper limit.
It would all still be the same for 90% of us and it would only severely affect a very small group of people who stand to lose a lot of wealth … it would sacrifice their wealth for the benefit of everyone else. And really, it wouldn’t hurt them at all … the only thing it would damage would be their egos, they’d still live a very well off lifestyle … it’s not like we are asking for them to give a blood sacrifice or to call for their beheading at the guillotine.

What’s so hard to understand about that?
