Most people work for money, but the rich make money work for them. It's not how much you make, yet how much you keep. This is where taxes come in.
The rich already pay the highest taxes, but the laws are also written to help them grow because their assets are what create the jobs. In the eyes of taxes, the richest ‘people’ in the world are not rich, their corporations they own are. If you tax those to death, the structure dies, and the jobs and system is gone.
I like to think of it as a Billion Dollar diamond I might own. I make money off of selling tickets to show at museum or something. My Net Worth is in the billions, but my employee based business is based on the ticket sales. If I am require to pay a tax on the value of the diamond, the only way for me to pay it, is now to sell the diamond. Now my business is gone, along with the employees I was supporting.
‘To much money’ is a mindset because there is no glass ceiling and it can keep going up.

Some thoughts Jim on this
Over conceited self importance can result in looking foolish.
Ego trips but the humble dont stumble
Sane normal people don't need power trips
So the lunatics end up in charge of everything
So says James P Morgan
