companies and people can become too powerful where they start disrupting democratic market behavior. that is the main fear here. no one gives a shit about this guy's 6 houses. it's where you can hijack democratic processes, you can completely shutdown economic mobility, you completely shut out fair competition - things like that. that's the concern.
I am ok with your way too. But it has to be paired with no bailouts. When the rich start flailing, they get bailed out by tax payer money. Later someone like you comes along and asks, "what's wrong with inequality?" |

It's only a problem when capital is monopolised by billionaires and invested in nonsense such that it cannot make its way through the real economy. This is happening today to an extent imho; redistribution could pay some dividends, but so what? Boomer billionaires and millionaires aren't the only boogiemen. However much capital has flowed into the coffers of boomer billionaires, more has assuredly gone to newly-minted Chinese billionaires and middle class bugmen. Realistically, the second that we start redistributive policies, the delicate framework that holds up the ponzi scheme collapses, Jews cut and run, stock market drops to intrinsic value, national debt interest becomes impossible to pay, U.S. spastically occupies the entire middle east, and the west will commence its Lost Century.
