Nobody should be allowed to have a billion dollars. We need an upper-upper tax bracket of 100%.
that is absolutely moronic

I can see where it would be bad for business and the economy if people were limited to a certain income. Bank executives could work for say, six months, shut down the bank, then open it again at the beginning of the next tax season.
Do you really think anyone would work for free to keep the ship afloat?
It don't fit you.
People should be "allowed" whatever they can legally accumulate. Their income is really none of your business.
Try walking a mile in my shoes.
Take your own advice.
When they spend it affecting elections, it becomes my business. John F Kennedy should never have been president, for example. Neither should George W Bush.
So if a rich person can prove that he hasn't spent a dime on politics, you ok with not confiscating their wealth?
No. Nobody needs a billion dollars.

one of the good things about being wealthy ( I am merely a multi millionaire-not a billionaire) is that we don't really have to worry about what you think we 'need'
methinks if someone who is a billionaire did have that worry, he'd have the resources to "make you go away" if you get my drift:mrgreen:
were does anyone get the authority to make that decision?
He said it should be so. Isn't that enough?
law by feelings?
Don't be silly, not just feelings but strong feelings, like really serious feelings.

That's the European in you talking. We're (hopefully) not opposed to great wealth and success here. In fact, many of us still believe that to be a laudable thing.
I love how people mouth off over the internet. What you said here is something you could only get away with given the anonymity of the internet.
you have chosen Libertarian - Right , by what you have stated, that position is not possible.
Anything is possible if you try hard enough.

Or it's simply a lie.
