What do you propose? Crush entrepreneurs? That would be great for the country.
Ah yes the Trickle down theory.. how has that worked out in the past? Maybe you can ask Maggie Thatcher and Reagan, two of the most reviled characters on the face of the earth.

Also, what about people who have that sort of money who aren't entrepreneurs? I have't seen Ronaldo investing any of his new found wealth in companies so as to create jobs. . same goes for Lady Ga Ga

Never mind what I propose, I'm no economic theorist, but yes in an ideal situation obscene wealth would be non-existant
