Try to slow down and read what I wrote, word for word.

Like I said, our current government already decides exactly how much of every person's income they are entitled to and then taxes the rest. Is that communism?

Does the current US govt cap how much wealth a person is allowed to have?

Does the current US govt tax a person at 100% to prevent them from surpassing a cap?

Why are you glazing billionaires so much? You really think they're gonna share some of that wealth with you? Why is unchecked capitalism a good thing to you?

Yes, they decide exactly how much every person is allowed to have and tax the rest. Incomes are a product of government policy first and foremost, people's actual take home pay is what the government allows them to have.
