Elon Musk's net worth increased by $28 billion today. If that doesn't convince you wealth inequality

7. Just a thought

but in a free economy (and I know it's not what we have now), if you cap his income/wealth, some would say he would quit doing what he does.

I'd argue, that's good. At his valuation, his life wouldn't change one bit, but you'd have a thousand people offering good pay to tens of thousands more thinking in a thousand new ways to take his place.

Wealth concentration in society to this extreme is bad in every. single. way.

Also, taxes should favor those who work for the revenue of the company, and subsequently the value of stock the owners enjoy. If we want to favor work, don't tax them but those like Musk who lives on unearned income.
