    There is absolutely no one hard working or intelligent enough to be worth 4M$/hr.

    Doesn’t matter how many Harvard-level degrees you have.

    The only possible argument for someone earning that much money is if “they took a huge risk by investing a lot of money in a hugely risky business opportunity”.

    And in that case, such risk should not exist. If a government wants to truly encourage entrepreneurship, it should provide with the basic needs for everyone, even if they lose everything in a risky business that didn’t pay off. At the expense of course of taxing it when it does pay off.

    Otherwise, only the rich can be entrepreneurs.

      I guess the reality is you’re clawing away peoples ability to become that rich old man while leaving him unaffected.
