> It's clear to me that in order to get a billion, you have to swidle a lot of people out of their fair share of the billion.

For those who are sympathetic to this idea, look no further than China. They have a very good system (superior to US-style taxes) for ensuring that no one gets “too rich” and that excess returns are captured and redistributed “fairly”

Alternatively, do. Don’t stop at the first bad argument, find the good ones too. You can look at the USA itself, for example.

I don't think the alternative that solves these issues is to go full communist dictatorship. Just get a better educated society that understands that value creation should be rewarded and where people ask for their fair share of it (as well as understand that your employees should ask for it and get it)

I'm very interested in details about this please.

It’s more like only the true red families and their white gloves are allowed to be too rich.
