To: realise
A level playing field is not possible, each person has his or her own degree of brains and ambition. To punish them out of hand for their natural talents is obscene and anti-human.

Not everyone is a Bill Gates, but to punish with punitive taxes that gives government control of money rather than Bill Gates is vampirish. We benifit from the ambition of men like Gates via their need to keep busy, improve, expand, invent to their maximum potential. This creates jobs and cuts welfare rolls, it's called capitalism.
