What commenters say

• Limiting individual wealth is necessary to prevent the abuse of power and promote a more egalitarian society.
• The concept of limiting wealth is often unfairly associated with communism, and a more nuanced approach to addressing wealth inequality is needed.
• The accumulation of wealth is a natural process, but it can lead to corruption and the concentration of power, which can be detrimental to society.
• The idea of limiting individual wealth is unrealistic and unworkable, as it is difficult to determine a fair and effective limit.
• The problem is not wealth itself, but the abuse of power that can come with it, and addressing corruption is a more effective way to create a fairer society.
• Democracy is not enough to prevent the concentration of power, and additional measures such as progressive taxation and wealth taxes are needed to promote a more equal distribution of wealth.
• The internet has created a system that is incompatible with traditional notions of power and wealth distribution, and a new approach is needed to address the resulting power law distributions.
• The maximum amount of wealth an individual should be allowed to accumulate is a matter of debate, but it is clear that billionaires can have a disproportionate and negative impact on society.
