I actually don't mind that argument. I hate the argument
that people being wildly successful is somehow "unhealthy".
As far as the debt/deficit... I'd rather see us cut spending (starting with Defense in a big way) but if we're going to stick with current spending levels (or increase them) we need to raise taxes. If we're going to raise taxes, I'd rather raise taxes on Bezos and Gates than on me. But I think a wealth tax will be exceedingly hard to administer and will generate far less revenue than expected. Ultimately we are going to have to broaden the tax base like Europe and raise taxes on EVERYONE.
