If you support setting an upper limit on wealth then you seem to be saying that beyond a certain point the "adequate share" is 100%. The frontier days, when a man or woman can do anything he and she pleases, in this increasingly interconnected planet, are over. It would not be a good idea (and also very impractical) to let a "Donald Trump", or anbody else buy up all the ranch land, the wide open spaces, or beach front property, do anything they want with it, and pass it on to their children. Governments will have a role in setting up limits and be referee in disputes. Ideally government should do this in an as unobstrusive and benign manner as possible. Good government wil require good people to set up policy so that we can all live in peace and harmony. Unfettered freedom is not possible. Government will have a major role in setting up boundaries and settling disputes.
