    people often become defensive saying that the government shouldn’t be able to dictate how much wealth one person can accumulate

    Of course it should. If we’re expecting to live in a democracy, then people need to have equal voices. If you’re a billionaire you have a megaphone, as Elon Musk has shown. Democracy can’t work if some people have far more power than others.
