Eventually, we may need redistribution of wealth, voluntary or not, because people need at least enough food and shelter, and some path to self-sufficiency, if possible.

And this is why at some level, a person is no longer entitled to additional wealth (even if it's earned honestly and fairly).

We know from history that when a small group of people control the vast majority of wealth, it creates an unstable system. So in order to maintain a stable government and economy, there must be some limits on wealth.

(and progressive taxes are one of the ways we control wealth, and prevent this instability.)
