@JxJxJxJx - true. But "rewarded" is not the issue, is it? What is sufficient reward should be the question. Once you get past the (let's arbitrarily say) $50 or $100 million mark, the incremental gains should be taxed at much higher percentages. And the result would still be people with enormous wealth. A likely effect will be fewer "inflated" lifestyles. A lot of consumption by the uber wealthy has been inflated solely as status symbols.That is, the $100 million mansions will be less in demand.

@eralddavid6892 - why are any of us taxed? It's our money, isn't it?
