Three words: tax the rich.

@Strandjunker I go a step further than progressive taxation. Merely adding an income cap would do. There is no need for any individual to have such an excess of income or even toy with the gross notion that they are valued at such an amount.
It’s really quite simple. Put any money above the income cap that you earn into the community or grow that business. If you don’t do those things then at tax time all of that excess income is taken as tax. #Capitalism #IncomeCap #Tax #Billionaires

Those fellows didn't get wealthy from "income".
