what if the risky business investments that often lead to life revolutionizing innovations are premised on a tiny probability of huuuge gain? perhaps you wreck the expected value proposition and dissuade people from making ambitious bets if you cap the gain at $999.9m.

maybe you think people are indifferent about every marginal dollar above a billion but maybe you should speak for yourself lol

I’d love to see you pitch your ideas to public pension funds and university endowments - my guess is they’re ok with a handful of people becoming billionaires by creating gigantic shareholder value

Without Steve Jobs there isn't an Iphone.

If you cap their worth at $1 billion what do you think they are going to do when they reach that limit?

People that get this rich typically provide a lot of value to (((GC))).

If we dispersed all of their money to the rest of the US it would just cause a shit ton of inflation. Actual GDP wouldn't increase.

reversion to the mean = substantial chance your spawn is not qualified to wield the power and influence that you did when you were in your prime. if they are, they should be able to prove it. no tax on estate capital invested in a corporation subject to normal governance. let your son run it. if he's any good he'll earn his inheritance.

and I'm talking about higher estate taxes on inheritances over like $100m

A billionaire is far likely to do something productive with his billions than an abject retard like OP, who'd no doubt direct it to be squandered on fraud "programs."

Oh, what we could do for society with someone else's billions!

which is exactly why we should be in charge of allocating it
