It's not a terrible idea, you let people who have the drive and skills make their fortunes, become richer than 99.9999% of the world's inhabitants, then when their country needs them you take 14.5% from them, they remain very rich, if you're going to bitch that you're only worth $85.5M and not $100M you're just a ridiculous greedy fucker.

This isn't the 1% that would be tapped, that article is from 1999, 10 million then is probably now 15 million - the percentage of people worth 15M is a small percentage of the top 1%.

My philosophy is government shouldn't get in the way of the risk takers and job makers, but it's under the understanding that when you make it big you have a responsibility to give back.
