The idea of having some government comittee or mob deciding my value to society and then taking what they feel is undeserved is infinitely scarier than some people doing disproportionately well.
And let's be clear, there is no other way to implement a policy like this because the criteria is totally subjective.
There is a way to implement this in an objective way. Simply heavily tax everybody who earns over a threshold amount. No judgement about what it is that they are doing. It doesn't matter.
