Somehow, we must entice the super rich to "spread the wealth" and I have no idea how we do that unless we tax all income over a set figure at 100% which has drawbacks as well. In a capitalistic society limiting wealth effects job creation, innovation and risk taking...we don't want to do that, at the same time we want to reduce the ever growing gap between the rich and the rest of society....I see a sane salary structure as but the first step.
"Spread the wealth" is un-American. Make something of yourself and stop whining about what others make. The Govt doesn't belong in the "fairness" business because it most certainly isn't fair.
