  Why should a person make $10m?

    If I can produce something that will benefit 10 million people such that they would gladly pay $1 each for it, but I'd just as soon not do it unless I get paid that money, then it's in the interest of those 10 million people that I get $10M for my work.

      How much should we tax you, as a 0.1 percenter?

        More than 0% and less than 100%.
