Very much. The numbers politicians have thrown around have had floors from 100 million to a billion. If Graham is speaking to the interests of future 100 millionaires I think most of them should be far more concerned about the country they live in when they almost assuredly never get anywhere close to that ceiling. For the few who do, who can shed tears when someone with 100s of millions is thwarted by government policy from reaching levels already so far beyond that which would compromise the happiness of an extremely privileged person. Nobody realistically suggesting something that is going to blunt startup Johnny's adventure to make enough money to buy a huge condo in SF, a Rolls Royce, a yaht, and a private waitstaff, if that is what Graham is raising alarms over. Johnny can keep dreaming.
