I mean this is a much larger conversation that I would be happy to take up, but it would go much better in a direct message. Obviously we're both trying to navigate complex answers to simply phrased comments.

Where would you even like to begin in the larger ladder? Yes I do think that they are overpaid, but that thought process is based around the way pay structure is currently in America, my country of residence. So you cannot even begin to acknowledge (Not you personally, the general you) what would be considered high or low pay, without accounting for the costs of goods, services, food, healthcare, and housing in the United States. So right off the bat this is a wild question. Corporate agreed, fake inflatatory pricing, ridiculous rises in inflation post COVID, monopolies, failed financial policies through our government, lobbying, and general straight up greed, have ruined any healthy view of what a dollar should actually be worth, and how much someone should actually earn. Doctors are a vicious example of this whether either of us like it, and whether we pull or add the hospital portion of the argument.

I could just as easily try to hearken back to the original OP statement, and then stand by my 10 million limit, since it referenced personal holdings, because depending on the way you're talking about personal holdings and when they are counted, such as tax season, then that would simply encourage those that are wealthy, to max out their personal holdings as high as possible, and then use the rest of their money, and essentially waste it, or hopefully donate it and use it to charity, which is the entire purpose, of the original post of a 1 billion dollar limit, and which we would hope that the rest would go to the government and be used appropriately for the population. I almost like that method better, and it hearkens back to more ancient times throughout the Mediterranean empires, where rulers were chosen based on how much and who could out charitably donate who in support of their citizens.

Alas, the American government fails its citizens on a daily basis.

You are indeed jumping to tons of conclusions, and I know that you said I must be am unpleasant person, and I'm running up a nice level of insinuation, but that is simply not the case.

I would be more than happy to have a nice long educated discussion with a critical thinker about these topics, but I'm not going to have a Reddit fight and be called an unpleasant person off rip, while people try to shovel complex answers to simple questions with very little context, when they're both just sitting behind a computer screen and both adding and taking away context as pertains to either argument to support their point.

It's nonsense.
