Millionaire class too. It's pretty safe to say that anyone with a net worth in the double digit millions could live comfortability on their wealth for the rest of their lives. Tax everyone with wealth and benefits over that 100%. They could still go to work and do their jobs for fun and to socialize. We could give them a nice plaque saying "congratulations you won capitalism".

But until we put a hard cap on greed. Stop the race to the top pushing the average person as side to make their personal line go up. All these companies could have been profitable from the start or much earlier on. If they weren't looking to give ridiculous salaries to people who don't need them.
