@very-musty saidYall can get a good feel of Musty’s logic on the last few posts of Jar Your Preserves thread. Absolutely mind boggling. $30M would not even buy a house at Palm Beach. Silly boy.
So we live in a world where the rich get richer and the poor stay poor.
So... would you agree that each individual could only make a certain amount of money?
If so...how much?
Once they reach the limit where would you put that extra money?
A billionaire is someone who has a million dollars 1000 times.
What can they buy that a regular millionaire can't?
I think ...[text shortened]... ne time.
Not 30 million a year that you build up.
30 million total wealth cannot be surpassed.
Question: what would you call this newly created conception of an economy? It would be a major restructuring.

@AverageJoe1
Is a house in Palm Beach necessary to be comfortable and wealthy?
Nope
A toilet is still a toilet Joe.
A rich man's toilet is the same as mine.
Those expensive items are only expensive if people will pay.
If not...they become worthless overnight.
If nobody buys those houses then they become worthless.

Once you make 30 million you're done.
Don't like that? Don't try then.
Somebody else will go after that 30 million.
@very-musty saidYall read the final para above and then the last 2 sentences. (See his original full post, on page 1, here it is shortened)

@very-musty saidThere are less than 3,000 Billionaire's is the WORLD of 8 Billion people. You could probably take their entire cumulative wealth and give everyone in the world a couple thousand dollars...Have you ever heard of a Bell Curve?

@very-musty saidGulp...I shouldn't ask this, but...I got to... 😳
@AverageJoe1
I also think an age limit is appropriate too.
Like a modern "Attestupa" 🤔
Uh, Musty...what age do you think would be appropriate? (Please oh please say 25 years older than I currently am...)

@very-musty saidIf I had any you could. That's a game I never got into. I found out I could throw a golf club further than I could hit a golf ball.
@Liljo
The rules is the rules...I didn't write them.
So can I have your golf clubs? You won't be needing them 😉
I can leave you a well-worn canoe!

@joe-shmo saidI'm not promoting the taking of people's money and spreading it out in a modern day scenario.

I'm just saying a wealth cap would prevent excessive greed and also let other people enjoy the wealth...or try to.
There are over 51 million people who are millionaires.
3000 billionaires.
Put in place a wealth cap and greed is eliminated.
