Yes, taxes should effectively impose a cap on wealth, reaching 99% tax rate at some point (certainly, when you're in the billions). If a founder decides to move on because he can no longer earn a billion... well, we as a society will just have to live with that tragic loss of leadership, and hope that somebody will be brave enough to take over.

There's a funnel that leads to one human being having over 75-million times more than another. We tolerate this today. And here in the tech world, we make apologies for it (even while many still manage to scoff at Wall St)
