Just one thing to remember: when you limit wealth, all you do is change the worth of the dollar. For instance, if we set a limit to $1M annual income, then the people making the most now will make $1M, and everyone else's income will decrease by the same proportion, and prices for goods will follow suit. It's nothing more than institutionalized deflation followed by stagnation based on an arbitrary standard.

I don't mind a good debate. It's the best way to keep your mind sharp. Enjoy.

With all due respect, that report doesn't say that wealth equals greed; it says that much of the wealth is distributed disproportionately toward an extremely small group, a point I have no disagreement with. It basically says that there are greedy people who use deceitful tactics to increase their wealth. Again, this says that greedy people get wealthy, but it does not grant that wealth is a sign of greed. If a good person earns a lot of money and becomes wealthy, is that person inherently greedy and deceitful? Again, you are trying to equate wealth with greed, and that is simply not a valid parallel. Greed can lead to wealth, and there are some wealthy people who are greedy. There are also poor people who are greedy, and middle-class people who are greedy. And they all harm others in some way. The wealthy greedy people affect more people with their greed than the others, so it's attractive to think that wealth itself is the problem. However, if an honest person becomes wealthy, should they be punished also? Or, is character a property of the person rather than their financial situation?
